I don't see a real difference to what happens now: The file will only
be written if one of the following conditions is met:
a) file doesn't exist
b) file exists but is different from the newly computed value

Please explain this a bit more.

PS: My laptop died so I'll need to get myself a laptop to normal ide
plug adapter. Until that is done, I probably won't do much work on
Ethereal.

works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
