Re: [PATCH] Fixing package-initialize, adding early init file

[Radon Rosborough]

I am sorry for the delay in response. Now that the fall semester is
over, I have much more time. The revised patch is attached. I have
done some basic testing with it applied to the latest master. Please
let me know if you have more feedback.

This is done; the function `load-user-init-file' is used for loading
both the early and regular init-files, and could easily be used for
loading more.

In the attached patch, it is defined as a Lisp variable in startup.el.

Best,
