Actually, list-load-path-shadows is executed when you install Emacs. But I think the output gets lost in lots of other output, so it doesn't help that much. IMHO it would be useful to make that output more prominent. Doesn't Emacs include a versioned site-lisp directory in the load-path by default? So the installation instructions could suggest to use that for such cases. But it could be that the directory is in load-path only for versions > 21.3. -- A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
