Just to revive this thread.
As I'm a software developer, I can write an automatic update / download tool.
If you are still interested in something like this, write a PM to me.

My idea is:
* Keep a list of available mods with their current version and download url on a central server
* Keep a list of selected mods on the client (created by the user on his own or published here as working combination) flagged with the locally installed version.

Every time the tool is started, it downloads the current list form the server.
This list is compared to the local list and if the version published on the server is another than the local flagged version, the url of the affected mod is taken and the file is downloaded.

I didn't have a close look on jsgme, if it provides an automation API. If there is one, we might be able to unpack the newly downloaded files, remove existing mods from the game and install the new version in the desired way.

This is just an idea... Download and listmanagement is no real difficulty.

Hendrik
