Rick,

You may have posted this elsewhere, but I've not had a chance to really browse these new forums yet. Will this auto update script work with heavily modified version of the script? In other words, are we going to be forced to remove all hacks prior to upgrading in the future? Or will this auto updater validate files in some manner that can preserve altered code?

I get the impression that this updater will only work with vanilla installs of the script.
