 i believe.. Or at least, Thats what the install API does, i think the
 upgrade API does the same. (Can someone confirm?)

 Actually, it returns utter junk. It'll return the latest stable version,
 even if the installed WP version is incompatible with the new plugin. You
 don't need to pass a user agent in there to get a response, let alone a wp
 version. which is a fine idea in itself, but it also means that some users
 might upgrade plugins before they upgrade WP.
