Currently, sbopkg can already check to see if there is a new released
package for itself by checking http://sbopkg.org/version.php.  I plan
to expand this to have sbopkg pull down the latest package listed in
http://sbopkg.org/pkg.php and update itself.

Also, don't forget that it's easy to run sbopkg from SVN.  Just pull
down the SVN tree and navigate into the tree to the sbopkg script and
run it from there.
