Comment(by mcs):

 Please take a look at the previous two attachments.  Kathy Brade and I
 made a first pass at modifying Torbutton to show an animated toolbar icon
 and to display a "Download Tor Browser Bundle Update" menu item when an
 update is available.  There are a few open issues:

 * We need to agree on which download URL to use and how to represent the
 OS and architecture within it.

 * The download URL is opened in the current tab; should it be opened in a
 new tab instead?

 * For the animated icon, we need sizes to match the existing tor-
 enabled-16.png (which is actually 18x18 pixels) and tor-enabled-24.png
 (24x24 pixels).  To test our prototype, we just scaled down the 32x32
 pixel animated GIF that Mike created.
