 * I checked the plugin database but did not find a way to accomplish what I think
   would be a very handy feature with the advent of WordPress 2.3: a way to automatically
   inform the site administrator when an update to an installed plugin becomes available.
   I would find this much timelier and more efficient than visiting /wp-admin/plugins.
   php once a week or so and manually scanning to see if I’ve an outdated plugin
   installed. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this automation?
