If you don't care about autoloads (or you're not sure what they are) and
you just want a small ~/.emacs, then all you need is this:

  ;;; load dotemacs/*.el
  (mapc (lambda (f) (load f))
    (split-string
      (shell-command-to-string "find ~/elisp/dotemacs -name *.el")))

This routine simply loads each file ending '.el' found under the
directory ~/elisp/dotemacs.
