Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. It seems like a system like
Dropbox or Cubby would work nicely, as the optimal solution would be
to have an .ado library that synchronized automatically from whichever
computer you used (I have some .ados at home, some others at my
office, and so, if I just replaced the whole .ado library on one
computer with another, I would lose some of them).
How have your experiences been, Christopher and Alan? When you have
time, Christopher, could you go a bit more in detail on how you setup
the sysprofile.do to direct the PLUS and PERSONAL directories to your
Dropbox?
Also, Alan, I am not familiar with Cubby. Would it work better than
Dropbox for this purpose?
Thanks again,
Paolo

However, when you run -adoupdate- Stata does not seem to have a list of the installed ado files. So I wonder if there is a file with the list that is updated every time you install an ado that -adoupdate- reads and we ought to copy as well.
