 When an update is available, a one click update method should be provided
 which automatically verifies the file signature.  In the alternative, a
 wizard could guide the user through the process of downloading the update
 and verifying the signature by invoking GPG automatically and parsing the
 output.  The object here is to script the update procedure in the same
 manner as Firefox, so the novice user does not have to issue commands
 directly to the operating system, they only need to approve or deny the
 update by clicking buttons in the update dialog window.
