That was quick :-)

Better use the direct url as I may change out php-nuke.
Now it has its own directory:
http://www.nerdworks.org/download/scripts/update-notifier/
This script is in use on several production systems, and has been working fine.
If you include it your FAQ, I will upgrade it to use Mail::Sendmail. This way
the script is not depending on a working sendmail installation.
