.emacs-settings.el can go in other directories than ~; it affects files
found anywhere in the directory tree that contains it.  Moreover, it is
not a file of arbitrary Lisp, but rather contains a set of buffer-local
variables to set in the buffers visiting files it affects, subject to the
normal risk-checking.
