reconsider defaults custom group

[Alex Schroeder]

Patrick Anderson posted a nice customization group for newbies on
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReconsiderDefaults

Was there not a thread a long time ago about building such a list?
Now at least we have a starting point.

Here it is:

;;; reconsider-defaults.el --- reconsider default emacs settings.
;;; Commentary:

;; type
;; M-x eval-buffer RET
;; M-x reconsider-defaults RET
;; this will create a "customization" buffer used to make permanent changes to 
emacs behavior

;;; Code:

(defgroup reconsider-defaults nil
  :group 'emacs)
