[Plugin] nsisDDE : sends DDE client requests
I have just released v1.1 of nsisDDE, my small NSIS plugin that sends DDE client requests to currently running applications with DDE server matching the "server application name / topic name" pair you provide

You can typically use it to:
- close running instances of an application (eg: to prevent EXE and DLL to be in use)
- bring a running application to the foreground
- have an application open a document
I use this plugin in all my professional installers to make the application exit before starting to install/uninstall a version of it.
Version 1.1 now supports Unicode NSIS installers and can make Unicode DDE requests if the application's DDE server is Unicode.
