It would be useful if Upgrade Status also checked whether my server was suitable for an upgrade. Having just tried to install Drupal 7, I find that my server (on which I successfully run Drupal 6), will not install because the "PHP DOM Extension" is not enabled.

Perhaps other "System requirements" can be tested, such as PHP v6.2, MySQL 5.0

Title: Upgrade Status: Check server capabilities » Check server requirements for new Drupal version

Better title. I guess this means we need to fork system_requirements() from Drupal HEAD into this module (and maintain it).
