We do things here (Gould/Urbana) the way Ashwin Ram mentioned. We have a
separate directory (/usr/local/lib/emacs/gould-custom) where our local
stuff lives, and most people put that directory on their load-path stack
before the standard directory (/usr/local/lib/emacs/lisp). Customized
files in gould-custom pop gould-custom from the load-path and load the
shadowed file, then finish loading themselves. custom-shadowing.el
provides load-path manipulation support.
