It would be very useful if this module provided support for help files hosted on another server. This would help support use cases where one needed to make help file changes outside of a code release cycle and/or where the help file authors and the developers were in different organizations and teams.

To accomplish this I would propose that a new entry be supported in the ini files that indicated the alternative location for the help files and related ini config file. Something like this.

[advanced help settings]
alternate ini = http://someserver.com/help/myhelp.help.ini

Attached is a patch for the minimal code changes.
