set up sounds good. however you need to name explicitly the files you want
to load on startup. including the direcory where the reside isn't enough.
another problem are auto changes emacs itself does to the .emacs file, e.g.
when emacs enables disabled commands: so the .emacs file won't stay as clean
as you want. at least the custumize-settings can be sourced out. read the
emacs docu about the var custom-file.
cheers, oliver
