Details:

As said in the summary, if you modify a scripts locally, weeget's upgrade
function is quite useless.

1st solution could be to make it possible marking a script as 'hold', and
then if doing an upgrade, download the script, but save it e.g. as
'scriptname.ext.new'. (explicit hold)

2nd, store modification time of installed scripts, and while doing an
upgrade, check current mtime of the script and compare it to that stored one,
if current mtime is newer, use solution for saving described under #1.
(implicit hold)

Finally, throw a hint if script couldn't be overwritten during upgrade.

Surely, implementing something like #1 *and* #2 would be best :)
