Comment:

 I hope I've not stepped on anyone's toes by submitting these patches. I've
 written some code that uses a simple XMLRPC interface to periodically
 check if an upgrade is available. I've not gone down an AJAX/Javascript
 route.

 I've included a sample XMLRPC server (actually a modification to
 WordPress's XMLRPC Server) for testing purposes; there's no reason why a
 standalone couldn't be used. You'll want to modify updates.php to point to
 your own XMLRPC server and testing can be done by modifying wp-
 includes/version.php (remembering to clear out the cached values from the
 options table).
