OK, just out of curiosity, is there any good reason not to just use -F
to upgrade?  You can just go into a directory and do "rpm -Fvh *.rpm",
and rpm will only upgrade the packages that you already have
installed.

Trying to parse the rpm versions from the filenames is a royal pain,
and getting the comparison of version numbers right is even worse.  If
you can use -F, go that route.
