Comment(by ericmann):

 WordPress could automatically verify plug-in versions on `init`.  We
 already store a list of active plug-ins in the DB ... it would be fairly
 trivial to pass an expected plug-in version with the upgrade hook and
 check it against whatever version was "active" on the site.  If the two
 version numbers are different, we can assume an update has happened
 (either though the UI, via SVN, or via FTP) and call the appropriate
 function.
