[Sparkle] Sparkle for Automator Action update

Hello there,

I have searched a bit, but couldn't find anything. If there is already 
resources about that, let me know.

The only thing I could find about non-apps and sparkle is a post about 
sparkle 2, but it's not clear if we can do anything with sparkle 1.5 and 
if Automator actions are really "non-apps"...

So, I am developing an Automator action, that I do sometime need to 
update as anything. I was wondering if anyone has tried to use Sparkle 
to manage Automator actions updates?
The actions do have a UI, where a "check for update" could be put, but:
1- it's not clear if Sparkle will be able to install the .action in the 
right directory (i.e. not in Applications but in Library/Automator)
2- when compiled into a workflow (or finder plugin, or whatever), the 
action UI is then hidden (or at least, partially hidden), so it's not 
clear how the check for update will work then.

Any idea on this?

Mort'
