Chris,
     This looks very promising.  I will have to give it a serious try
when I have a sec.  Quick question, are the binary patches pulled
directly from the projects server?  If so I assume the client does
checksuming etc.  I know I know, these are probably FAQ's that can be
addressed by me running the thing :)
