Title: modularize pair.el to allow nerds to have custom setup without maintaining their own branch

Basically,

* Common stuff is in common.el.
* Each nerd has .custom.el, which loads common.el
* Foreach other username that each nerd has on different machines where they use the starter kit, link .el --> .custom.el. That way invoking emacs on those machines will bring up the custom config automatically. E.g. On my laptop I am nspeed, so emacs will be looking for nspeed.el, which will just be a link to nspeed.custom.el.

When a nerd sits down at a new pairing station, they can just checkout satisfaction/emacs-starter-kit and make a link: pair.el --> .custom.el

Also, there are some other packages that I use in my own config (deft.el and Emacs-Sunburst-Color-Theme), but shouldn't affect anybody else unless they want to put it in their custom config.
