XML ver feed

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 helpful to the max. Am I talking outta my ass ? Pete
