A good way would be to check for the presence of note*.txt files in the models
directory. These show which updates have been installed.
Prior to 2008-01 ths naming convention was NOTEyyrr.TXT, but now it is
NOTEyyrrCA.TXT where yy is the two-digit year and rr the release number. In fact
it is a little more complicated that this due to the optional libraries, but
since the CA library is mandatory, NOTEyyrrCA.TXT will work.
