Bug fixes:

Overwrite existing wave files when sampling a VST (but only .wav files).
Make sure the sample rate is sent to the plugin before processing a VST plugin.
DW no longer steals keyboard focus, except for edit controls.
Loading a DWB file now tries to load a sample from file if it's not in the DWB.
DWB files now save a reference to the file instead of the sample data when total recall is off.
Fixed acm import - sample length wasn't adjusted after conversion (was sometimes less than predicted).
Fixed mouse position inaccuracy for pitch bend and mod sliders (multi tab).
Prevent crash when previewing samples in some cases.
Time stretch knobs are now also automatable.
Fixed crash when showing long program names in progress.
Fixed stack corruption around filename buffer when loading downloader dll.
Fixed crash when canceling"Browse" window in browser.
Fixed loading wave files by absolute filename.
Avoid "no disk in drive" error message when loading samples.
Fixed event handling for hosted VST plugin, it used a fixed size event buffer.
