Of course $Id would be necessary. But if CVS doesn't stamp the file, how 
do you want CVS to handle the revision marking?

?!?
You can consider zip as another compression/packaging format, similar to 
chm. I'm not sure whether wxLocale can handle this too.

Its not as easy as that...
for pgadmin base package, I'd only inform about new packages. I wonder 
if we can do this even system specific, i.e. inform about deb packages 
on debian, ...
For languages, a more complex selection for updating existing and adding 
new ones is necessary.
