A time-stamp file is created by default.

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 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.
