With emacs 21 on Windows, is there a way to get the load-path behavior to 
work as it does in Linux. Specifically, I have this in my linux .emacs:


;; Add Personal lisp files to load path
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp")


Which gets all the files in ~/elisp and all subdirectories. On Windows, 
however, it seems that I have to specifically add every subdirectory in my 
~/elisp directory or else Emacs doesn't see them. Why?

That is curious, I run Emacs on unix and on windows and the load path
acts just the same as on both, only the directories specified in the
path are searched.  You may want to check out what the Elisp manual says
about load-path and subdirectories, (if you do not have it installed
see:
http://www.gnu.org/manual/elisp-manual-21-2.8/html_mono/elisp.html).

Really? I don't think it does. I do think that it is convenient,
though, so I use the following hack.

(defun add-subdirs-to-load-path (dir)
  ;; wants a trailing slash
  (let ((default-directory (concat dir "/")))
    (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)))

,----[ C-h f normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path RET ]
| normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path is a compiled Lisp
| function in `startup'.
| (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)
| 
| Add all subdirectories of current directory to `load-path'.
| More precisely, this uses only the subdirectories whose names
| start with letters or digits; it excludes any subdirectory named `RCS'
| or `CVS', and any subdirectory that contains a file named `.nosearch'.
`----

Then I can do (add-subdirs-to-load-path "~/elisp").

Add the subdirs.el to your directory with line like:
(normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)
Search the `site-lisp' directory for this file.
See the help for this function.
