The link Sneeky posted has the relivent tools required for today's meatiest of rig's if your custom building or just wanting to check any rig is solid & stable, also the links in Sneeky's link are most probably updated regulary to the newest version (with thanks to TPU) so you won't have to worry about that either and one last thing that I've come to notice if Sneeky say's something to help you out then he's heading you in the right direction.
