The current directory may have changed since Emacs started. A minor
improvement is probably:
(load-file user-init-file)
The `user-init-file' contains the absolute path of the user's init file.
If the actual init file loaded is a compiled file, such as `.emacs.elc',
the value refers to the corresponding source file, so the `load-file'
call will DTRT regardless of the current working directory.
