It's been suggested, and will be coming in a future version if all goes well :)

The problem currently is peoples personal version numbering systems, a prototype updater script for scripts and skins was made, although it worked mostly it encountered problems with various naming methods eg BETA, 1.2c, ++, *Fix* etc
Couldn't this be automated on the Script/Skin DB end? Simply increment an integer every time a script update is submitted and encode it into the .plsc/.plsk file (either in the XML or embedded into the header of the plsk/plsc file if possible). Then MsgPlus checks for updates by reading this value (either from the XML file or from the actual plsc/plsk on import and storing in registry) and comparing it to the current DB version to check if an update is required.

Very simple and would do the job flawlessly I believe :)
