(Sorry, I responded to your previous email very quickly).

Thanks for the suggestion. I am working on introducing a similar idea on 
the server side.

In RC2 of the bundle installer, the install.pl will ask a php file for a 
product and a particular version. The php script will redirect the user 
towards the right location (it can either be the main download directory 
for services - latest versions will be stored there. Or it could be the 
archive directory - for older versions of our services). We can then 
periodically review our archive and remove older unsupported versions 
and make necessary changes on the php file.

The issue with having all this REGEXP checking and implementation on the 
install.pl is that if we have the latest version of the file but don't 
want the install.pl to use this version, it will be very difficult to 
control it. Makes sense?
