Just as Neil I have been using emacs for ages, both on Unix (Sun, Next,
True64, Linux) platforms and on Windows (NT, 2K, XP), and I have managed
to do all configuration by means of the files site-start.el and default.el
in the site-lisp directory, plus the .emacs and .custom files in the
user's home directory. The great thing is that I could use the same files
on all platforms by placing the relevant statements inside cond or if
expressions. Try that with the Windows registry.
So, I heartily agree with Neil that the Windows registry should be used
minimally if at all, with a strong preference for the latter. An installer
might be handy to help people start with emacs, but on the other hand,
unpacking emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz and then running addpm from the
bin directory is all one needs to get started.
Just my $0.02
Cheers,
Karel Sprenger
