[O] Using Eric Schulte's starter kit with org mode from source

[Alan Schmitt]

Hello,

I would like to try using Eric Schulte's starter kit, mainly to have my
configuration file in org-mode, using an org-mode installation from
source. An issue on github
(https://github.com/eschulte/emacs24-starter-kit/pull/29) suggests using
a command line argument to do so, but this is not convenient (especially
since I'm using emacs on OS X). Is there a way to pick up a source
install directly from the configuration files (for instance from
init.el)?

Thanks,

Alan
