 Replying to [comment:14 bookdude13]:
 > Patch 36710.4 had a typo, `strotupper()` instead of `strtoupper()`.
 Fixed in 36710.5.

 Thanx for catching the typo in my update...I'm a dyslexic typer :-)

 > Testing locally on Windows this works. When a symlinked plugin is
 updated the symlink is removed and the updated package is stored in
 plugins/. Note that this will break the symlink for the site maintainer.
 If they don't want the link broken they can update their own location, or
 copy the files over afterwards.

 Correct.  I'll be proposing another fix for the auto-update part (on a
 separate ticket).
