It seems Vanilla plugins can't extend the core tables like this plugin has.

Vanilla upgrades seem to do a compare against the DB rather than traditional migrations, the extra column this plugin adds to the Categories table ends up getting wiped, and the upgrade fails..

It seems you have to create your own table .. Which is kinda a PITA ;)

I found an example that does this here: http://vanillaforums.org/addon/fileupload-plugin
