mrsetup and the rest of the toys

[Mario Scholz]

Dear vcs-home list,
Dear Martin,

right now i'm trying to find a solution to sync my home
directory on different machines. Martin, Joey and others
made a perfect job in defining/describing a solution with
Joey's tool MR.

As a starting point i used Martin's post in which he
describes a possible setup:
http://lists.madduck.net/pipermail/vcs-home/2008-July/000147.html

Anyhow i don't get the idea with the described account specific
configuration. There are two chapters in his former post
which give me the headage:

What is ~/.mrsetup. Is .mrconfig meant here?

Why is it so. Martin also wrote before:

Now i thought that there is only a single .mrconfig. This
one is checked out by mrsetup in an earlier phase. The
global .mrconfig file includes all modules which are put in
~/.mr/?  (symlinked from ~/roles)

So what is in .mrsetup?

Thanks!
