How would you check for modified default file? I mean, the sense is to
get file automatically updated. You are allowed to do so only if user
has not modified old file.
Well ... adding checksum to rc file may help. I.e. if there is a new
default file and checksum is valid, replace it. Is becoming increasingly
more complicated but it may work.
