Each time I update one .emacs, I have to update the others so that all are in sync. I wonder if there's already some code to: - Load a remote .emacs from the net. If there's no remote access then use the previous cached one. Otherwise load the one from the net and cache it. - I don't know much about emacs lisp but if there are ways through emacs lisp to get files from http or ftp or something, it shouldn't be hard to implement this as a library required by local .emacs and ran each time the local .emacs is executed.
