I can't see why Emacs couldn't handle that one special case (and prefer the source tree to `configure'd paths), but I guess the only way to really know is to study the source code, indeed. > In a more general use case, where there are two copies of NEWS in two > places where Emacs looks, not so sure.

You mean you then copy the files back into VCS to track the changes? That's simpler? Anyway, in such a case I see no ambiguity: you're running the installed emacs, accessing the installed data files as `configure'd. --=20 =C5=A0t=C4=9Bp=C3=A1n
