Details:
My plan is to make metaserver to send information about latest stable release
to connecting clients (but not to servers in this phase).
Attached patch makes client to compare that latest release version string to
its own, and to output message if there seems to be new version available.
There obviously is room for improvement in how the version comparison check is
done, but I'm not writing any required version comparison functions now. If
version strings differ, one from metaserver is always considered to be newer
one -> output message about possible newer version.
Nobody can really test this patch without modified metaserver. It has worked
perfectly on my own testing with my own metaserver. If this is allowed to go
forward, I'll first upgrade metaserver, then inform here that patch can be
tested, and then still give some time for people to test it before committing.
