Instead of the user having the option to add a time-stamp to the
init-file, a file is created for this purpose only.

The =package-refresh-contents= function downloads archive descriptions,
this is a major bottleneck in this configuration. To avoid this we can
try to only check for updates once every day or so. Here are to
try to only check for updates once every day or so. Here are three
variables. The first specifies how often we should check for updates. The
second specifies wither one should update during the initialization.

The tricky part is figuring out when the last time the Emacs was updated!
Here is a hacky way of doing it, using [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Time-Stamps.html][time-stamps]]. By adding a
time-stamp to the init file, we can search for it and determine wither or
not to do an update. After that we must run the =time-stamp=-function to
update the time-stamp. Note that if there is no time-stamp in the
init-file then packages will be updated every time you start Emacs.
