More or less its true for GNU/Linux systems, I am not aware of other 
platforms though.

For example both on Fedora and Ubuntu, all the skeleton dot files reside 
in /etc/skel/ (note the minor correction to my previous suggestion). Few 
months back I successfully built a Fedora livecd from a kickstart file 
with a custom .emacs skeleton file which translated into a pretty 
customised emacs for the live user.

In other words this could be very easily scalable solution to large *nix 
deployments. :)
