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

[T.V Raman]

Also the documentation for variable 
package-enable-at-startup may need updating, present doc-string no
longer feels right:
package-enable-at-startup is a variable defined in `package.el'.
Its value is nil
Original value was t

Documentation:
Whether to activate installed packages when Emacs starts.
If non-nil, packages are activated after reading the init file
and before `after-init-hook'.  Activation is not done if
`user-init-file' is nil (e.g. Emacs was started with "-q").

Even if the value is nil, you can type M-x package-initialize to
activate the package system at any time.

You can customize this variable.

This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
version 24.1 of Emacs.
