An upgrade dialog would come up only when the version.latest node is
updated in this xml:
http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-3.1.xml

We should not be updating that until we release the new version of the
Installer.  Otherwise, we will be unwittingly making the Installer users
upgrade to (potentially unstable) RC version.

Thanks,
