 The new unistall feature #5625 is a great addon and I would like to
 suggest to implement a other feature for the upgrade procedure. The
 problem :

 Some files (CSS, addon flash files, config settings, etc.) are stored in a
 plugin folder, during every automatic upgrade procedure these files will
 be removed as they are not included in the core plugin. The user must
 reupload them always again. I don't like to seperate these files outside
 the main plugin folder because they are part of the plugin.

 The possible solution :
 A hook or file (upgrade.php) defines files and folder which will be saved
 in a temp folder and will be copied back to plugin after upgrade. If there
 is any interesting and agreement from the core dev team, I can work on a
 first patch.
