Because I share same Emacs configuration files both at work and at
home. Whenever I modify some file at home, before leaving I
synchronize them with a copy on a USB stick. When I'm back to work I
have to synchronize them back and restart Emacs. Therefore I was
looking for a way to write a function to automate such task from Emacs
itself.

Furthermore, I was thinking about writing a module which would look
for updates of currently installed modules and automatically
downloading them and restarting Emacs...
