I change my .vimrc very often, and I use vim

Is it possible to ask vim to update its
.vimrc from an URL, like an FTP address?
With v108c, netrw can source remote files. You can get v108c from my
website:
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW
With vim 7.0 and official patches 1-182, vim will emit an error message
(but works anyway) when sourcing a remote file.
With the same plus the patch to vim's source at
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#SOURCECMD, no error
message gets issued.
The patch at my website provides a new autocmd event: SourceCmd, which
netrw will take advantage of if present.
OK, with all that:
vim -U NONE -c "set nocp|so $HOME/.vim/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim" -c "so
scp://HOSTNAME/.vimrc"
will
(a) avoid attempting to source in any local .vimrc
(b) source in netrwPlugin.vim from $HOME/.vim/plugin
(c) source in the remote .vimrc via scp, presumably on HOSTNAME.
