You are absolutely right I didn't mean it that way (if you refer to me?): it was meant as an example, an example taken from reality, yes, i.e. not made up, but still just an example. The question/challenge was/is how to avoid not just sitting on your own huge personal Elisp system, and be all content about that, but how to make parts of it accessible to other people without having them `require' tons of general stuff you yourself have collected in different files, some of them huge, for practical reasons. OK, now that this is made clear I'll remove the *plonk*, I just got frustrated, no big deal as you say. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
