Would it be possible to create simple file on the smarty.php.net server
that "contains" the current version...

eg
smarty-ver.txt and the contents are
stable=2.6.789

This would be very useful as am working on an install script that either
snaphot's or fetches tarball (and its working locally in a hyp situation
prototype)

Part of that action is that it "recompiles" templates and can flush case
on change etc within an application.

even cleverer would be rss/xml but for my purpose's that would be
ful to the max.

Am I talking outta my ass ?
