I store all of my config in a single tree and have bash or emacs
source files selectively after detecting various useful attributes of
the system.  For bash, this includes platform, 'domain' (site) and
machine.  For emacs, this includes version, flavour, etc.  It makes
for a bigger tree, but I can store it all easily and check it out
anywhere.
