 Then the right way would be:
 
 1) Look if there is a .emacs and use it if it is found
 
 2) Look for a directory .xemacs/ and if it is found
    use init.el and options.el from this path 
I think the precedence should be reverse.  .xemacs/init.el should
override .emacs, so I can have both, with FSFmacs reading one and
XEmacs reading the other.
 3) If nothing is found, create the .xemacs/ path and files 
This is exactly what I would like to be avoided, if possible.
 Another possible way:
 Always use .xemacs/*, and only use .emacs if argv[0] is 'emacs'! 
Yikes!
