Installer: Download models only when needed #142

Downloading the big models takes like "forever" so it would be really nice if the installer only downloaded models that either do not yet exist on the computer or if they exist, have changed since the last install. If the model exists from an earlier install and has not been updated, the it should preferably not be downloaded.

@The3IC -- Yes, after implementing the download mechanism and running it several times, I feel your pain :)

We'll see how we can 'smarten' up the model installation / management mechanism.

Actually, the installer is nice in that if I don't download an existing model, the model on the computer is not deleted! SO the only thing now missing is it would be nice to get a notification that a model has been updated compared to what is on your computer.
