Example: network shared home directories.  When mounted on the server, I
might have emacs-nox, on the lab computer emacs-gtk and emacs-nox, and
on my workstation emacs-gtk only.  If the home directory is nfs mounted
how can I set the alias in this environment?  Having a script that does
autodetection and has a "user prefers" setting makes more sense.
