How can I obtain the emacs install location from within lisp?
I'd like to add some additional subdirs within the lisp/ directory to
my load path.
Something akin to:
(add-to-list load-path (concat emacs-location "lisp/jabber"))

Firstly, you shouldn't need to. All subdiricetories should be automatically
added to the load-path at startup.
Secondly, you should add external packages to site-lisp, not
lisp. This makes upgrading easier and prevents confusion over which
packages came with Emacs and which you added later.
