    kai> You will need similar links for the man pages and for the

My emacs installation is a shell script that does post-install
adjustments like man-pages, site-lisp, etc. The only change I make to
the script for each new installation, is the emacs version number.

The man-pages get installed in /usr/local/man/manl.
Site-customizations get installed in /usr/common/emacs/site-lisp (the
/usr/common filesystem is mounted on all hosts and is architecture
neutral) and is sym-linked into the /usr/local/emacs-21.1 tree by the
post-install script.

Nobody (mostly) reads documentation here; it's faster and easier to
ask me.
