Hmm. I had been thinking of turning EMacro into a site-init.el file.
Perhaps it is time.
Some downsides:
There can be code in users' .emacsen, that will break or duplicate what
is in EMacro.
I had been avoiding this in the past, as such an install would require
root access, but this is a moot point for packages. I also wanted to
assure that EMacro became stable, and that it is.
Note that the ~/preferences and ~/packages must be created for each
user. This should be an easy code change for EMacro.

Is there such a thing as a system .vimrc? /etc/vimrc, perhaps?
First, I must get past packaging EMacro. The author of cream is quite
responsive. Try him, first.
