 currently as a plugin developer i have no means of passing upgrade
 instructions to my users if they use the wordpress auto upgrade feature.
 what about having a message display, saying that there are upgrade
 instructions for this plugin to be read before performing the auto update?

 i could imagine the upgrade instructions being a section of the wordpress
 plugin directory readme.txt file. if the section is present, it is
 displayed (or at least a message is shown saying that there are
 instructions) otherwise the auto update is directly performed assuming
 that there are no upgrade instructions.
