I think it'd be nice to have this as a GNU ELPA package. But I guess
there's some questions as to how it should be installed in order to
avoid needing a ~/.emacs.d directory at all.
The "HOW DO I INSTALL IT?" section wasn't clear enough for me to know
how it's currently meant to be installed. It says:
Just including the two directories in a site-lisp directory is enough
on my machine to recognize ~/.config/emacs/init.el and run it at the
site start.
I'm glad it works for you, but I don't know what "a site-lisp
directory" is. [ I can guess what you mean by "the two directories",
tho it is a bit vague. ]
I wonder how/why it works for you, tho, because I don't see any code in
Emacs which will look at something named "site-start.d" by default.
Could it be that your site-start.d gets used by some code provided by
your distribution (e.g. I see some site-start.d directories used by
Debian's Emacs package)?
Unfortunately, user-init-file will not be set, because I think it is
hardcoded in C from an array of possibilities.
No, it's set in lisp/startup.el.
