I agree a separate tool is possibly the best option here for privacy 
reasons...

Simple solution seems to me, have a version.h file in each "module" and 
rather then calling home publish the version info that is downloaded 
rather then uploaded with some sort of changelog type system, and the 
app running locally will detail on request the changes between the 
different versions...

obviously gzip'ing the "changelog" will save download times...

I think it's a good idea if implemented correctly, everything off by 
default, and give good details on what it does specifically and how to 
enable it and that should keep everyone happy... Those that are 
especially paranoid, just don't compile the version checking tool, so if 
anyone complains later not only did they have to run the util, but they 
had to compile it as well...
