Implementing Software Update into apps.

Hey, gang --

I've searched the archives (Mamasam), ADC sites, docs, and Web for
answers to this question, to no avail.  Hope you can help:
   
   Is it possible to use Software Update (SWU) as the updating
front-end for your app., and if so, how's it done?

The only doc I was able to find was a little dated
(http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1191.html).  It seems to give
the impression that SWU is only for Apple system software or third-party
device-driver builders... but we all know that's not true, since IE
often appears in the panel for updating.  (Is buying part of Apple
corporate a prerequisite? ; ) )

The only other hits I get are third-party tools like UpdateAgentX
(Insider Software, Inc.).

Any ideas or experience?


Much appreciated,

-- TG
