The Viper package has a some simple invoked-for-the-first-time
messages and prompts for new Viper users.  It writes settings to
~/.viper rather than `custom-file'.  I'm not saying this is the Right
Thing, but it would be nice to see consistency between packages that
perform first-time initialization, particularly those packages that
are a part of do Emacs.

I'm not sure how Viper knows whether it's being invoked for the first
time.  Maybe through the abscence of ~/.viper?
