Summary: Add version check to plugin
Initial Comment:
Many questions on the spambayes mailing list are
answered with "first, make sure you are using the
latest version of the Outlook plugin". This patch
allows people to check to see if they are up-to-date.
Before incorporating this, please change the URL
of the page which contains the version number! :-)

That sounds fine to me. Is the BinaryVersion element (currently
0.5) the item to compare with? I was looking through the
Outlook2000 directory for "005".

How about we put on the web server the latest version of
"spambayes\Version.py" - we could then parse it locally and
extra more metadata (such as the new release date etc). The
code could also be generally useful for all spambayes apps.

Maybe checking the version at startup in a seperate thread
(along with an option to disable the check) and only show
the message if a new version is availible could be added. ...Or
maybe that would just hammer the website too much ;)
