[Dxspider-support] Check_build

[Dirk Koopman]

It is not necessary to do a 'load/cmd' unless you happen to be me and 
doing something weird with file modification times. The DXCommand system 
automatically a) picks up new commands when you use them and b) will 
automatically update the command if the file modification time is newer 
than the one currently stored in the node. All 'load/cmd' does is clear 
the command cache and therefore *any* command used will (now) be 'new'.

It makes writing DXSpider commands sooo... much easier. This is a 
fundamental part of DXSpider and was there since the first ever issued 
version of the program (I like to think ahead).  It means that one can 
write new commands and try them out on running test nodes. Have a 
watchdbg running and try the command in a console.pl, if it fails it 
will output in both the console and (in a more detailed fashion) in 
watchdbg. Rinse and repeat until working. No node restarts required.

Enjoy.
