Make git configuration more portable

 In addition to this, you can find a few little scripts I use in the `bin`
 directory, and some Python scripts to support those in lib.

+## Installing
+
+Clone this somewhere, and run
+
+```
+./script/bootstrap.sh
+```
+
+This will need to be run any time that new files are added to the dotfiles.
+Every file in `*/*.symlink` will be symlinked to `~/.basename`, and every file
+or folder called `*/*.xdg.symlink` will be symlinked to `~/.config/basename`.
+
+There is no garbage collection. If you remove something, you will also need to
+remove the now dangling symlink.
+
+Post-installation, you will also want to copy `zsh/zsh.symlink/secret.dist` to
+`zsh/zsh.symlink/secret` and edit the appropriate values. Also if you're not
+me, you'll need to change the SSH signing public key in
+`git/gitconfig.symlink`.
