Summary: Automatically Add New Files to Project

Initial Comment:
When doing a cvs update, new files might be downloaded
to the local directories; however, they do not
automatically get added to a DrJava project.

It would be nice to rescan the project's source
directories for new *.java files when a project is
opened or when the user explicitly does a "Scan
Directories for New Files" action. DrJava then presents
a dialog with a list of new files, and the user can
select the files to add using checkboxes.

The project properties should have a checkbox
"Automatically Scan for New Files on Project Open".

Using an (optional) automatic scanner instead of making
ALL *.java files below the source root part of the
project has the advantage that it doesn't violate the
DrJava "culture" of being able to just compile and work
with a subset of the files in a directory.
