* epaths.in (PATH_LOADSEARCH, PATH_DUMPLOADSEARCH, PATH_EXEC)
(PATH_DATA, PATH_DOC): Update the template values to be closer to
their typical values these days.
Is it really wise to make changes in basic Emacs configuration during
a pretest? E.g., the change to PATH_DUMPLOADSEARCH looks non trivial
to me, and I cannot immediately assess its effects (if you can, I
would suggest to at least put it in writing in the ChangeLog entry).
This isn't a bugfix, is it? If so, can it wait?

The effects are zero, because those values are not used for anything.
Configure changes every one of them to the actual values.
The pre-defined values are essentially comments.
Of the platforms that do not use configure, MS Windows uses nt/paths.h
instead, and the msdos build (presumably) uses sed to edit all the
values it cares about.
Oh, I see it does not change PATH_DUMPLOADSEARCH, which was the only
non-absolute value. sed4.inp should probably set it back to ../lisp.
POSIX platforms have been using an absolute value for years (at least a
decade I think), so the previous comment about it being ../lisp was
misleading.
