Clarification: Do one /or/ the other :) If you choose option two, make
sure to create the file you set as `custom-file' (C-h v custom-file RET)
and move all the custom-* stuff from your .emacs into that file. Also,
use an absolute path-name. If things don't work as expected, remove the
'noerror and start emacs as "emacs --debug-init".
