One problem with this solution is that any customizations the user
might do (using M-x customize), will be saved to ~/.emacs and not the
alternative init file.

Does anyone have any solution for this? Sometimes I want to start a
more "light" Emacs with a smaller init file, but still be able to use
the customize tool and save that to my smaller init file.
