Change icon of updateable packages

[forki]

Latest paket has api to retrieve all updateable packages. Would be awesome if this would be used. See FindOutdated in https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket/blob/master/src/Paket.Core/PublicAPI.fs#L175

I haven't touched the code in a while, but this could totally be a background task, periodically checking for updated packages and drawing a special icon on the items.

[forki]

how?

I can do the background task, but how can I change the icon?

[hmemcpy]

It should be possible to just call node[DgmlNodeProperties.Icon] = newIcon, but I haven't tried it.

Wow... possibly need to call context.OnCompleted first... I have no idea :)
