[Sparkle] Where is SUCheckAtStartup?

[Rob Napier]

But it appears that now there's no way to set this in Info.plist.
Specifically, there's no way I see to prevent the "do you want to update"
box from popping up.

This patch might help, but I'm not certain this is the best solution. I want
to control the interaction and not have Sparkle pop up during launch for
this product. What I really need in this product is a version that has no
Sparkle updating (Sparkle can ship, but it should do absolutely nothing),
and a different version that has mandatory, synchronous (the user waits
until it's done) upgrading.

In a different product, I would really like to get back to Sparkle popping
up on the first launch. As has been discussed before, I want to make sure
that the user has the most up-to-date software during his first experience.

Thoughts? Since r81, Sparkle actually seems to be reducing its flexibility
somewhat, and I don't think that's the intent.
