I keep all my dotfiles in a directory called "~/dotfiles" and symlink just my .bashrc. everything else gets reconfigured via aliases.

eg.

     alias vim='vim -u /home/derf/dotfiles/vim/vimrc'
     alias tmux='tmux -f /home/derf/dotfiles/tmux/tmux.conf'

Isn't that a lot of work? And I doubt it will work for everything. Some programs don't give you an option to get configuration from non-standard location.
