The Tread has turned into BIND and local variables only. =A0I wanted
to add my current solution which uses a different approach.

My ~/.emacs is a symlink to ~/hosts/${HOSTNAME}/emacs where
host-specific or platform-specific configuration is stored. The
directory ~/hosts is synchronized[1] on all of my machines and
accounts.

In ~/hosts/all/emacs.d/* I have got myorgmode.el, mycommon.el,
myauctex.el, myedit-server.el, mypython.el, and so forth.

As you can imagine, the ~/hosts/${HOSTNAME}/emacs contains a load
command for mycommon.el which refers to all the other el files.

Therefore mycommon.el and all the others are identical on all my
machines whereas ~/.emacs contains (only few) platform-specific
things.

Maybe this is a possible attempt to overcome your problems when
using Org-mode on different machines.

=A01. I am currently using Unison File Synchronizer[2] in combination
=A0 =A0 with crond/LaunchCtl but git or something like dvcs-autosync[3] =A0 =A0 or even Dropbox will work too.
