Damn mid-air collisions.....

I don't really understand why Peter gave up on the original review request;
phpBB is commonly used and I fully agree with Mike that having automated updates
coming from a trusted source should be far better for overall security than
requiring every single admin to watch for updates and manually apply them.

I do think that this should be blocked until the current minor issues open on
2.0.20 are closed.  (There's a full path disclosure and I think one other issue
that I can't recall at the moment.)

My real concern is for the feasibility of doing automated upgrades.  I look
after a small phpBB setup and while the procedure for me is simple because I
don't run any mods, it's never as simple as just replacing the files.  How is
that going to be handled by the package?  If we're going to put this into
extras, we can't be afraid to push updates quickly and admins need to trust that
those updates will work (else they'll just not update the package at all).
