unfortunately, not all version information is useable to do
comparisons against. examples being things like 4.0b1, 3.5p3, 4.0.1-sp1
I'd suggest that the easiest method of handling this is to equate
an actual date to the each update...
As far as a central respository goes... all of this is currently
maintained as part of Softrak.. a machine readable XML version of each
entry would be needed instead of just the HTML version now available.
