I think this is the way to go. Have a default .emacs file in /etc/skel that
includes /etc/smgl.el, then your emacs plugins can modify /etc/smgl.el.

Or better yet, use Mads' idea with a /etc/emacs.d/ directory structure where
each plugin puts its files (that way spells are not modifying another spell's
files) and have /etc/smgl.el just include everything in /etc/emacs.d/ (if it
can do that without having to explicitly list each file).
