Summary: Inform User of New Releases

Initial Comment:
Since dqsd is largely a network application, why not let 
dqsd search the web for the latest release.  If there is a 
newer release, pop a message box and inform the user.  
If the user is interested direct user to the download web 
page.

I have a project at http://www.amourtan.com/ that is also 
a network application and has a similar feature.  
Unfortunately, it is written is Visual Basic and uses 
the "MS Internet Transfer Control".

Basically, I store a "tango.txt" file on the server with only 
the version info in the text file.  Everytime user fire 
application, program retrieve text file and inform user if 
the version info is later than the program.  Everytime I 
release a new version, just update text file and user will 
flood in and update their program.  This feature almost 
double the download traffic.

Or maybe someone can help do a Web Service/SOAP 
version. :-)
