Optional Installation File At Point
===================================

   If you choose to have `dired-x.el' bind `dired-x-find-file' over
`find-file' (Note: Find File At Point), then you will need to set
`dired-x-hands-off-my-keys' and make a call to the function
`dired-x-bind-find-file' in the `dired-load-hook':

     (add-hook 'dired-load-hook
               (lambda ()
                 (load "dired-x")
                 ;; Bind dired-x-find-file.
                 (setq dired-x-hands-off-my-keys nil)
                 ;; Make sure our binding preference is invoked.
                 (dired-x-bind-find-file)
                 ))

   Alternatively, you can set the variable _before_ `dired-x.el' is
loaded

     (add-hook 'dired-load-hook
               (lambda ()
                 ;; Bind dired-x-find-file.
                 (setq dired-x-hands-off-my-keys nil)
                 (load "dired-x")
                 ))
