Hello all,

Attached is a preliminary patch for fixing "the package-initialize
problem" (see [1] [2] [3]) by adding an early init file.

​My thoughts are:

1. For most Emacs users who do not program in Elisp, there should be only a single init file that they would personalize, generally as they find snippets of code they can cut and paste for their use.​

2. For Elispers, another optional init file for more fine-grained control would be okay, though not ideal.

But this means whatever problem exists with package-initialize, it should be solved without requiring the use of a 2nd init file.
