an integrated auto-update mechanism is difficult because we have many batman 
users outside of Germany. Should they all update via open-mesh ? On the other 
hand may be they don't want to have the latest version because they are happy 
with what they have. Or they want to test it before the whole network 
updates.
I better solution would be a custom skript which checks for updates and logs 
into the router via SSH to install it. Axel wrote such a script. I think he 
could give it to you.
Is it worth considering to publish it on open-mesh ?

I hope you take some time to test it before you that or your users may become 
unhappy.  ;-)
