amen, preach it brother ;)

we ought to have a setting somewhere to allow a user to use rsync or
the wget method. rsync ought to be part of the base-system if we make
updating through rsync the default.

of course this greatly speeds up the code and takes away some of the
abuse on the filesystem one gets by repeatedly deleting and creating
about 40mb's worth of small files (per grimoire).
