After looking at the many interesting dotfile solutions, I decided to go the build-your-own-lightsaber road after all. So here goes...
$ source ./meta/bootstrap
- store kermit-location inside the scripts folder
- k script prefix with tab-copmleted subcommands - argparse+genzshcomp, OptionParser or trollop
- move aditionally () to separate file (too custom to my preferences)
- install essential programs platform-independently
- add emacs config kermit666/kermit-emacs
- install script - something like http://blog.smalleycreative.com/tutorials/using-git-and-github-to-manage-your-dotfiles/
