What about this: If I add an entry to the eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml file that's a "version number" (just a plain number, incremented by 1 each time we update the file, with an upper limit of like 1000000) could we have the auto-updater check the eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml for this version number, then compare it to version number saved somewhere at maps.eq2interface.com and if they don't match, send them to a download page?

the easiest way is to just make a way for you to upload the file to the eq2map website and then just treat it like all the other files.
