[Sparkle] Sparkle for Automator Action update

[Andy Matuschak]

This is kind of a really weird thing to try to do, but I actually  
think it works in trunk Sparkle, which support updates for arbitrary  
bundles. You just have to call setHostBundle on the SUUpdater in  
question to let it know which bundle you're talking about.

Let me know how that goes—I'm curious.
