Since I cannot replace files.elc  in /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp (I am not a=
n administrator) I installed the source files.el in ~/.emacs.d/lisp which p=
recedes the default in my load-path.  I then edited the value of locate-dom=
inating-stop-dir-regex.  Still the value of the variable is that found in f=
iles.elc

How on earth am I to override this rather archaic setting?
