Using the update buffer feature of template.el

Using the update buffer feature of template.el

[Jay Bingham]

I apologize for the nearly duplicate post, but I forgot to put a subject on the previous message.

I began using template.el many years ago to create new files. I had always meant to figure out how to automatically update the Version: $ID: line that appears in several of the templates (makefile, el, cls, sty & tex) that come with template.el. After investigating template.el I find it appears to provide the capability to do this via the template-update-buffer function and the associated variables template-auto-update, template-update-buffer-alist and template-header-regexp-alist. Unfortunately I find that the documentation describing how to do this is not very clear, at least to me.
I am wondering if anyone on this list has used the auto update feature in template.el to automatically update the Version: $ID: line, and if so you could provide me an example of how to accomplish this. It appears to me that I will need to provide a function that will actually do the updating. What is unclear to me is how to set up the associated variables to cause this to happen automatically.

While I am fairly sure that it does not matter which version of emacs I am running and the operating system I am using, just in case it does, I am running emacs 23.2 on Windows XP.
