Most definitely make the options configurable or at least allow users
to pick the scope of the upgrade.  Personally, I would rather be
notified of the availability and I would then apply the update.  It
could download it but hold it aside for me to apply when ready.  Also,
I've seen latency with different programs and scripts doing a check
for updates at startup in Windows quite often so I would probably turn
it off and just activate it with a single hotkey manually.  Now if a
hotkey method were used, then upon detecting a new available update,
it could prompt with a simple yes/no dialog to update the file.

I definitely wouldn't want any other customizations to be overlaid by
these updates though.
