Ok, I downloaded it and it compiles (after a few makefile adjustments to
make it use the new location of postgres).

I will be looing at it more later today. Is the text describing the system
on the homepage and in the .tar.gz up to date?

I have read that page. Is the list of todos/status of the client and
server up to date?

Ok :)

I talked to some people at the company where I work (BabelTech) about the
binary updater. BabelTech have made an update system for the products the
company makes. It is currently closed source and contains some parts that
would most likely not be useful for a general updater. I'm going to see if
there are parts of the BabelTech updater that looks like it could be used
in the binary updater and if that is the case the company will properly
release those parts under a BSD licens (or something like that). No
guarantees or anyting like that but I will be looking in to it.
