Hrm.  I view this as more of a policy decision than a technical one.  I'd
really rather not add more complexity into sa-update (more commandline
options, special handling for *.pre and *.pm, etc, etc.)

I'm also concerned that our whole sa-update system is a bit immature to
trust it to distribute automatic code updates.  Down the road I think
it's a great idea (it works for the anti-virus folks, and it should
work nicely for us too,) but I'd rather get more people using sa-update,
get more work done on sa-update, etc.
