Package update check

[richarth]

Thanks for the package. I think it would really be helpful if the package could also list the latest version of packages listed on NuGet and highlight any that are out of date. Perhaps this could be incorporated into the new health check system?

@richarth Hey thanks for the feature request. I agree that adding in something like this would be great for the health check system. Probably a slightly different package than this one?

As for checking NuGet, this could work, however sometimes I use packages which aren't from NuGet (eg. self-hosted NuGet or MyGet for example) and packages.config doesn't provide this repository information.

I think just showing the status of packages from NuGet would be fine with some icon/indicator that packages from other sources couldn't be checked.

Maybe it would be better to create another package for this, it just seemed that this package did most of the work already.
