General description of mf-init

I maintain and recommend a full elisp configuration package. The files building it and which I have written (more or less) have an mf- prefix. This stands for Multi-Frame.
These configuration settings cannot be put in the common startup file (site-start.el) because they are not necessarily suitable for everybody.

These files will however be maintained in a centralised manner, meaning that changes (improvements?) to it will transparently affect all its users.

The only needed setting to use it is, near the beginning of your .emacs startup file:

(require 'mf-init)

Now, you can wish to configure it (i.e. to disable part of its features).

The following is recommended in addition, but is more likely to conflict with your other settings:

(require 'mf-profile)

Suggestions about improvements, as well as bugs reports may be send to me. However, I don't commit to any time schedule concerning action about them.

In an X environment (this is tested), scroll bars are disabled, and a single, separate, common minibuffer is used (by default).

Support for accessing documentation from emacs buffers is provided through the C-c d binding.
