+dotfiles
+================================================================================
+
+This is my collection of dotfiles. They are organized like this:
+
+base/                             Files I want on every host.
+host-overrides/
+    jesterpm.net/                 These files override those in base/ on hosts
+                                  with domains ending in jesterpm.net
+
+        host-specific/            Files in this directory are typically
+                                  sourced from files in base to provide
+                                  host (or domain) specific extensions.
+                                  
+    bismuth.jesterpm.net/         These files override those in jesterpm.net/ 
+                                  on bismuth.jesterpm.net in
+
+setup.py                          A script to setup links to the dot files.
+
+
+setup.py
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The setup scripts makes the following links:
+ 
+ * For every file X in base/, ~/.X is linked to base/X
+
+If a file already exists, it is deleted unless the --nice flag is given.
