Could you not rename index.php to index_old.php and put a new one up with
some nice message and then revert after the upgrade?
I just tried it and it appears to work on my dev site. Gives you total
control on what people see and can easily be changed back in seconds.

Seriously, if you simply stop MySQL, the user
will get such a
message. Of course, if MySQL is used for other things, you can't do
that.
Thanks, but I'd like to be able to show this message while the upgrade
script is updating the database... The solution proposed, to use the
read-only message, is probably an acceptable alternative, although
during the version upgrade some error message could be generated to
the user.
