I needed something similar in Thunderbird, but couldn't find out
how, so I renamed thunderbird to thunderbird-bin, and made two new
shell scripts, thunderbird and thunderbird-setup.

The "thunderbird" script only checks for the existence of the
~/.thunderbird directory, and execs thunderbird-bin if found. If
not, it runs thunderbird-setup, followed by thunderbird-bin.

The "thunderbird-setup" script untars a premade config dir from a
global location, and seds through the directory afterwards,
replacing %USER% with the username, %NAME% with the full name, etc.
