I second this. I even second it so much that I provide a crude patch on a possible way to solve it. It's a naďve way, but I guess it should work...

The patch modifies the CheckForUpdates dialogue so that it will read two more lines from the version.txt-file. On line no 2 it will expect to find a message for the user and on line no 3 the URL where the user can go to download the update.
If any of the lines are empty or missing the default text and/or url will be used.
It should be backward compatible with existing clients w.o. the need to change the location of the file if the old format is used.

(This time I'll skip the whining about how utterly untested my patches are, but be advised that some fixing of the string-handling in the code most probably will be needed before this works... (Gosh, I do need that working build environment......))
