Have you tried initsplit before? It can be found at
<http://newartisans.com/johnw/Emacs/initsplit.el>. It's what I use.
Just customize the `initsplit-customizations-alist' variable,
specifying that files matching a regexp go into a certain file, and
you're set. The only caveat is that it doesn't touch face
customizations.
