You'd think it would be simple... until you start writing it. Authors keep different version numbers on different sites, some times forget to update the toc version but update the database version, have multiple toc's, etc. This is why Minion is still in beta, we are trying to figure out a way to get it to more accurately detect the version of an installed addon downloaded from another site. Since this is a community project we are open to help.
Curse has a couple full time programmers on their updater. We can't afford that and rely on the help of others.
