"Not checked for update" is not relevant

Actually, all plugins are checked for updates, and are or are not found on 
wp.org. If they are not found, it means either that the plugin is not 
hosted on wp.org, or, and this is probably not uncommon, that the plugin 
is hosted on wp.org but locally installed in a way that prevented the API 
from matching the local install and the repository.
(Something like this: 
<http://planetozh.com/blog/2008/04/4-checkpoints-to-make-sure-plugin-update-notices-in-wordpress-will-work/>)

So, basically, the messages must be something like:
- up to date
- outdated
- unknown: could not check (and we can't be more specific at this point)
