Not without hitting the disk or massive bin increase, also that would
mean mainintaing the help in the manual and in apps/ somewhere..

yes, but what would happen is that rbutil would check the xml file on
the web somewhere for an updated version os it would always be
current, rockbox-info.txt which is where features would come from has
the build version so if it doesnt match up (or come close...) it could
easily ask the user to update to make sure the settings will be
compatable.
