* Config files structure.

Main Emacs config file is '~/.emacs'. I decide don't store beside it all
customisations. Instead it simply load files in such order:

  '~/.emacs-autogen'
                It content depend on installation environment. Automatically
                generated.
  '~/.emacs-pre'
                For manually written customisation (usually for updating
                load-path) which can affect on '.emacs-my'. Will not be
                overridden on install.
  '~/.emacs.d/my-lisp/autoload-my.el'
                For defining autoload function for modes (instead loading all
                mode files to save startup time). Automatically generated.
  '~/.emacs-custom.el'
                For storing customisations by Emacs itself. Some settings from
                this file can effect on loaded elisp files from .emacs-my.
                Will not be overridden on install.
  '~/.emacs-my'
                Here main customisations placed.
  '~/.emacs-post'
                For storing connection settings, passwords and enabling modes
                added to load-path in ~/.emacs-pre. Will not be overridden on
                install.
