I have a lisp directory in my home directory where I store files like the
one you're talking about. I prefer this because I backup my home directory
more carefully than /usr/local/, and it's where I put my own homemade elisp
concoctions as well as those that don't come standard with emacs.
Anyway, the point is that you're not limited to the locations that are
currently listed in your load-path variable. If you want to add a new
location to your load-path, add this line to your .emacs file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/directory")
Then restart emacs (or manually reload your .emacs file) (or M-x
eval-last-sexp with point at the end of the expression) and you're new
location will be ready to serve.
