Hopefully this is something that can be resolved sooner rather than
later, though probably not before the alpha.

I plan to experiment some with Google's Courgette updating system for
the browser project and then maybe can try it for Haiku too. Of course
with something as complex as an operating system it might take a while
to iron all the kinks out. But I have some ideas. The eventual result
being fairly automated and in-place upgrades of Haiku, like most other
modern OSes :)
