Question about subdirs.el

Question about subdirs.el

[Steven W. Orr]

I just noticed that my load-path was *HUGE* and contained every subdirectory 
of $HOME. I always start emacs from $HOME and I had at the head of my 
EMACSLOADPATH. When I took . off of EMACSLOADPATH the extra values in 
load-path went away. But! I did not have a subdirs.el in my HOME. The only 
subdirs.el I found were in site-lisp and lisp dirs. Does anyone understand why 
all those directories got loaded up?

Also, I saw from the docs that the directories in EMACSLOADPATH are supposed 
to be suffixed with a slash to distinguish between entries which are files 
versus entries which are directories. I just added the slashes but I see no 
difference. I am running under linux.

TIA
