Suggestion, ability to specify one mod to update and also ability to specify directory to put installed mods #9

I noticed this tool has a lot of potential. I love it. However, I did come across some annoyances that if fixed might improve the utility even more.

Let's say I know that modA needs updating but every other mod is fine, it would be nice to be able to specify only check for updates for modA. Or if I know modA and modC and modZ need updating, but the other 100 or so mods are fine, would be nice to specify only those mods to be checked for updates.

Also, seems this always puts mods in and checks for mods in a folder named mods. On a headless server, mods could also be at serverroot/worlds/worldname/worldmods Would be nice to be able to specify to install mods to and/or check for updates of mods in say, the worldmods directory in this case.

It would also be nice to have a feature where you can specify a mod git clone url instead of just relying on the contentdb. I have some mods I have to modify to make them work right and the mods on the contentdb is too old and broken. I plan to eventually put these updated mods in a github repo or something so others can access them too.
