Ok. I understand the script. Thinking it at least. So it ends up in the
2nd stage by taking .mr/templ/.mrconfig as default for .mrconfig.

The template mrconfig includes everything by running find over all
'roles/*'
and sourcing 'base'.

This means as a default on a new machine you take everything?
I did not expected this.

For an account with less modules you modify your account specific
.mrconfig.
So symlinks are not used. Right?

I would skip the 2-times .mrconfig bootstrapping. But this is my personal
taste.
Thinking currently if it makes sense for me having .mrconfig account
specific
or doing it like in Joey's .mrconfig.complex with matching the hostname. 
Then the repository configuration for all hosts is in one place as for me
its
a "single" home directory with host-specific variations. Not sure right
now.
