Simplest way is to do a dns lookup to a specific nameserver,
looking for a TXT resource record, the contents of which
is the revision number of the current version. If the
returned RR does not equal the version of the client the
current user is running, pop up a window letting them know
a new version is available, and possibly do an in-line update
if the user wants.
