## Structure
[.config/init/](.config/init) contains [vars](.config/init/vars), a file
-defining shared variables for the desktop which are sourced and used elsewhere,
-and a series of "gen/*.sh" files, which create configuration files in /tmp/ so
-programs not configurable via shell scripting will automatically match the
-current settings as well. i stick symlinks to the /tmp/ version where they
-would normally be. also included are folders "funcs" and "funcreqs", which,
-respectively, contain executable scripts and their prerequisite commands and
-arbitrary check commands. the latter prerequisites are tested from .zprofile at
-login and, if passed, the functions are symlinked into /tmp/funcs, which is
-included in $PATH. thus, this system allows for configs which automatically
-adapt to the host environment, enabling only what functionality is compatible.

+it, so falling back works fine. have a few fun things, including auto-loaded,
+filetype-specific settings and basic [templates](.vim/skel), a few fancy
+mappings, and a simple 16-colour [colourscheme](.vim/colors/shmibs.vim). take a
+look at muh [.vimrc](.vimrc) for details and things.
