How about an update client gizmo that looks through your game directories & works out what Version of each mod / race you are using by looking at the readme files (or Matryx's modinfo file format, or a specially designed new file format).
It then goes Online (using the URLs listed in the readme / modinfo file) and checks to see if there are more up to date Versions available for download. A big "Automatically Download & Install" button would be handy at this point.
It would probably require that racemakers / modders put a special file in their zips which points to another special file on their website, which in turn details Version numbers and file locations for the update client program.
Or is this just sad?
