Are there any common ways to handle this? I guess you can't make a running application exchange itself by a downloaded one? What is the recommended way to take care of this updating thing (should be something that comes up in many projects, i guess...)

I've written an application called "Shovel" that works as a "Software Update" clone for non-Apple apps that support MacPAD (http://macpad.sf.net). It's still in development, but it may be an option for you if you can wait a little longer. It updates an application, and has the advantage that the user can update all the apps they have in one go instead of having to launch each app to make it check for new versions.

Note that the MacPAD SDK at above URL also contains code to implement the software-update-check you're doing based on MacPAD. Which means you only need to keep one file current to make both software update schemes work. -- Cheers, M.
