Updates: catch, throw, FileCatcher, SendFile

Several updates today based on my attempt to standardize the way I deal with bonjour file sharing. In Erica Utilities, both catch and throw are updated with the new protocol, as is SendFile. These utilities now all use a common service (_sadun._tcp.) and are using the beginnings of a standard protocol that describes the file being sent and requests made about that file.

In addition, I have updated my Macintosh-based File Catcher. Interaction is no longer needed. Just run it and it will catch files and put them on your desktop. This is very handy when snapping screenshots. I hope to shortly put together another Erica Utility, snapngo, that snaps the screen and throws it to your Macintosh. Watch this space.
