I am trying to figure out concretely what that means,
but I can't be sure -- there are many possibilities.

Who would select and install one "pre-configured Emacs"?
A user, for perself?  An admin, for a user?

Who would the chosen pre-configured Emacs be installed for?
For a site (affecting all users)?
For one particular user?

In any case, I don't think we would different versions _of Emacs_.
Wouldn't it suffice just to generate a .emacs file with a few
user options set?
