Rob's got the idea of what needs to happen: every action Sparkle wants  
to take in talking to the user should be potentially delegated through  
some updater:willDoSomething: method.

I really don't know when I'm going to have time to do this (or  
anything else for that matter); I just finished a twelve-hour midterm,  
and things aren't looking like they'll improve anytime soon. I do  
welcome well-written patches from good souls, though. :)
