Yes version control seems like the logical thing to do.
This has problems too however...

1. What if one of your machines is not on the open net?

2. You must be religious about checking in all changes on every
   machine to *propagate* changes.

3. You must be religious about updating your checkout directory
   on all machines to *get* changes.

4. Your repository will grow huge after a while if your $HOME changes
   a lot.

I suppose these issues can be surmounted with an SSH based Subversion
server and crontab scripts....
