Please don't hide it *too much*. On a unix installation, it should
be easy to find so a user can add a site in his home dir, if
eclipse is installed by a package manager. Or is that solved by
variables in links files?

I think I can do my 'site updater' with a small shell script, which
lopps over all installed features and updates them. A '-site <site>'
command would be better, though.

Updating an existing feature or all features. Adding a site will only
consider the features from that site.
java -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate
-command update
[-featureId feature_id ]
+ [-site /path/to/site ]
