for some lisp plugins, the install instructions say to edit the ~/.emacs file

emacs doesn't make this file until user changes his default settings.

does anybody know

        1. if it's 'necessary' to edit .emacs
if yes: 2. if we want to edit system-wide in one config file, and which one 
that is
or      3. if there is a default config-file (which I failed to find)

option 3 is no good imo, as do people in #emacs think: it would force us to 
copy this default in every user directory, and edit this file in every user 
directory every time a plugin is installed that wants this.

I'm pretty sure that we need option 2, but I'm totally lost in the 
emacs-directories.
who can point me out?

thx

pieter
