...except that package.el is (correct me if I'm wrong) intended to be
run by nonpriviledged users, and therefore only $HOME and $TMPDIR are
(typically) writable.
I earlier suggested something like
$HOME/.emacs.d/elpa/lisp
for sources, and
$HOME/.emacs.d/elpa/VERSION
for byte-code, but David suggested this would cause problems. I
confess I don't quite understand what those problems are.
