Per-host configurations

Some configuration files will detect and include host-specific configuration files. For example, commonshrc looks for ~/.commonshrc.host, which I set up as a symlink to the specific commonshrc configuration file for that host in version control. Or, you can just name file based on hostname, e.g. if your hostname is home-computer, then put a file named ~/.commonshrc.home-computer.
