title: Is there anyway of checking for updates in Chrome user scripts?
body: <p>Just to be clear: I am not looking to do an auto update. I would just simply like to let the user know that there is an updated script and give them a link where they can go and get the latest version.</p>
  
  <p>There a few ways of doing this in Firefox but they all seem to use Greasemonkey specific features that are not supported in Chrome.</p>
  
  <p>I have spent a good 4 hours today researching this and now I am looking at the SO community for help. </p>
