[Casper] Favorite Servers

[Miles Leacy]

No surprise here... I recommend scripting it.
If you deploy a plist file, you force every setting in your plist and
effectively delete any other setting already stored in that plist.

If you use `defaults` or `plistbuddy` to modify

/Users/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist

then you can selectively modify the values you want to manage without
interfering with any other values in that plist.
