Oleksandr Gavenko's Emacs initialization script

Installation

To install:

make install

To download external packages:

make install-packages

Config files structure

I use ~/.emacs.d/init.d as main entry point for customization. That file load
another files in such order:

~/.emacs.d/.emacs-autogen

Hold environment info discovered during installing. Automatically generated.

~/.emacs.d/.emacs-pre

For manually written customization (usually for updating load-path) which
can affect on .emacs-my. Will not be overridden on install.

~/.emacs.d/my/loaddefs.el

Definition for my modes autoload functions. Automatically generated.

~/.emacs.d/.emacs-custom

For storing customization's by Emacs itself. Some settings from this file can
effect on loaded Elisp files from .emacs-my. Will not be overridden on
install.

~/.emacs.d/.emacs-my

Here main customization's is placed.

~/.emacs.d/.emacs-post

For storing connection settings, passwords and enabling modes added to
load-path in ~/.emacs.d/.emacs-pre. Will not be overridden on install.

Org mode conventions

my-org-dir controls location of Org root directory.

Legacy setup instructions for native Windows Emacs

Define env var HOME like c:\home. Emacs will expand path element ~ to that
directory and some modes provide shortcuts for quick navigation to that
directory.

cygwin-mount.el

cygwin-mount.el teaches Windows Emacs to understand Cygwin paths.

In particular setting INFOPATH & MANPATH using Cygwin's convention allows to
read info and man pages from Windows Emacs!

Example of INFOPATH which works both in Cygwin and native Emacs:

INFOPATH=/cygdrive/c/home/usr/share/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/local/share/info:

Final sign : instructs Cygwin's built-in info viewer to include system paths
and native Emacs to include its own info pages.

Emacs's woman.el and Cygwin's man both understand following:

MANPATH=:/cygdrive/c/home/usr/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man
