I just wasn't able to find where -exactly it would fit (other than, of course, as compilation -instructions for my projects). - -Now, yesterday I got the idea of using ~org-mode~ to literate-program -all my configuration files and then use ~make~ to tangle and install -them.

I'm still working on it, as you can see my emacs -init file still has a long way to go, my focus is on getting it in -~org-mode~ first and actually get it well-documented later. I've -published it [[http://org.ryuslash.org/dotfiles/][here]], what I have at least, in case you would like to -read about my mostly uninteresting configuration files. |
