[wp-hackers] fwiw: informing a user that a updated plugin is avaiable

[Per Soderlind]

One of the main problems a plugin author has, when he/she updates a plugin,
is to tell the user that a new version is avalable.

Here's how I do it using Prototype:

You'll find a full implementation in the latest version of my ImageManager
plugin:
