It just needs a nice UI.

To be useful on the Macintosh, it needs more than a real human
interface. It also needs support for things like aliases. If I
install a piece of software, decide to move it elsewhere on my
machine, and then check for updates the update engine should still
find it.
Unfortunately, Cocoa doesn't any built-in support for aliases.
Fortunately, I threw together a simple class for handling alias
records in Cocoa applications. See
