I have written all of the code dealing with path management. More importantly, the current design of the package system is generally perceived as a failure in the XEmacs community, even by Steve. (I'll be happy to explain why if anyone's interested.) Thus, it may not be desirable to adapt this code for Emacs. I have designed a new one, but have not been able to spend much time on implementing it. Once I do, I'll try my best to make the code modular and sharable between the Emacsen. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
