Hi,
when running `emacs -Q', I was surprised to see site-lisp/*/ in my
`load-path'. Although the manual (cmdargs.texi [1]) doesn't say
anything about `subdirs.el' (it's not mentioned in the manual at all),
I'd expect "minimum customizations"[1] *not* to modify `load-path'.
E.g. I have some other Gnus version installed in site-lisp. I'd
expect Gnus 5.11 from Emacs 22 after `M-x gnus RET', but I get the
version from site-lisp.
(Tested with emacs from EMACS_22_BASE, cvs-updated, bootstrapped and
compiled yesterday. But I'd guess it's the same on the trunk.)
Bye, Reiner.

@item --no-site-file

@cindex @file{site-start.el} file, not loading
Do not load @file{site-start.el}. The options @samp{-q}, @samp{-u}
and @samp{--batch} have no effect on the loading of this file---this
option and @samp{-Q} are the only options that block it.
@item -Q
@opindex -Q
@itemx --quick
@opindex --quick
Start emacs with minimum customizations. This is like using @samp{-q}
and @samp{--no-site-file}, but also disables the startup screen.

I think it should load subdirs.el. Hiding the packages
available on your site is not the purpose.
