Thanks for this. I'll try it. But I am not so sure...
I use emacs for quite different purposes. I like to have the
customizations of these separately maintained. As a programmer I
appreciate internal cleanliness more than external sugar-coating :-)
However this forces me to keep my c-mode and python and org and ecb
and god-knows-what-else customizations all together -- which I dont
like.
The problem as I see it is that the specification of initialization
in .emacs is given imperatively whereas it could be more declarative
and event-driven.
Assuming emacs is to .emacs as linux is to init, a possible
alternative that illustrates would be upstart -- see
