At this point we could have an autoload (rescue, autorescue?) option. 
 It's parameter would be a directory with a "rescue-kit". Everything in that
 directory will be uploaded to the palm if userid == 0 
 (and maybe strlen(username) == 0?).

You can embed some flags in your PRCs to reset the palm after they've been
installed, to launch 'em, etc.

Do you mean to automatically restore the backupped databases?
