Next time read carefully. The user will be asked if he wants to use
automatic updating or not.

If I recall correctcly the only reason this works atm is
because the spell files are read through twice. Once before
casting and then again when the users confirms to cast the spells.

Any choices about what version to cast and any warning messages should go
to PREPARE not CONFIGURE. Also I propose that every cvs/svn/whatever spell
has a warning message similar to what I put in the dri spell which warns
ppl that this is a bleeding edge version which might not compile properly.
