Sorry to quote the entire article, but I couldn't think of a good way to trim it. Anyway, what I would do is create a variable file for each of the front-ends, so that only those will be loaded by custom (and will be much cheaper). The custom-load should then look like this: (custom-add-loads 'eudc '("eudc-bbdb-vars" "eudc-ldap-vars" "eudc-ph-vars" "eudc")) Of course, don't forget to require the "var" files in their respective "real" files. -- Colin Oscar Figueiredo writes:
