My .emacs configuration

In case you like peeking into other people's configuration file or learn how to configure Emacs in Windows, here is my last set of settings.

Note: this relies on a personal fork of shackle to have LaTeX pop-up windows be automatically closed https://github.com/juanjosegarciaripoll/shackle when they are no longer used (AucTeX kills the buffer with errors but shackle does not close the window which showed the errors)
