This is much easier said than done, IMHO. Simply comparing $VERSION
(or, more accurately, $VERSION plus $BUILD), between the installed
package and the one in the repo is not enough. The reasons are
many, such as the fact that some of the SlackBuild scripts at SBo do
their own thing, such as use other variables (i.e. replace $VERSION
with $SRCVER or something), or include the kernel version in the
package version, such as nvidia-kernel does, or that fail the bash
'decimal' problem ... Anyway, there may be some work on this
already, so please contact me before starting anything.

there is a password type dialog box available, but I have not looked
into or, nor have I investigated what it would mean if sbopkg su'd

safely or correctly.
* Maybe change all instances of 'dialog' to $DIALOG and set $DIALOG to
be a variable equal to either 'dialog' or 'xdialog' in case someone
wanted to run sbopkg using xdialog. I don't know how compatible
dialog is with xdialog so if there was breakage, I would not want to
really address it as being able to use xdialog is not important to
me. I prefer dialog anyway.
