Well that is why you should set up a coding standard and the problem with XBTIT is not that the coders use different styles etc.

It has to do with some code optimization done to the whole XBTIT source code that made all mods before rev 542 not to work with the the 542 revision that had some big code changes in all files etc. This made the mods not to work and giving all sorts of odd errors but it easy to fix if you are a good coder and dedicated to keep your work up to date.

And if i where to code in such a function i would make it so that you don't end up like the problems with XBTIT in the future, set a coding standard and make the moders/coders follow it. Ofcourse you should also have the option to install modifications manually if you want to.

But it is a good feature to have a one-click-installer for modifications if it is well coded and functional. ;)
