[wp-testers] Plugin updater in 2.8

I'll write a blogpost up sometime in the next week to detail how I do it :)

For now, Plugin authors can look at the common-class i use:
http://svn.dd32.id.au/wp-plugin-dd32-common-class/class.dd32.php  as well as
the way i load the latest version of the file available, and how i add the
changelog/configure data:
http://svn.wp-plugins.org/add-from-server/trunk/add-from-server.php

Currently, It parses the details out of the Trunk's readme file's changelog,
so it needs to be in the correct format.
