---------------------------+-----------------------------
 Since this is a pluggable function, which would be over-ridden in the
 child theme's directory, and since we want to make it as ''easy'' as
 possible for new developers to extend the parent theme, consider
 {{{
 require( get_template_directory() . '/inc/theme-options.php' );
 require( get_template_directory() . '/inc/widgets.php' );
 }}}

 instead of using
 {{{
 require( __FILE__ . '/inc/theme-options.php' );
 require( __FILE__ . '/inc/widgets.php' );
 }}}

 __FILE__ breaks the theme and throws errors the moment twentyeleven_setup
 is defined somewhere within the child theme's directory structure, whereas
 {{{ get_template_directory() }}} will always point to TwentyEleven.
