Since we don't ship emacs, I would say skip these for now. I'd like for these to go in a more rationalized place than "site-lisp", anyway. Perl has a "vendor" directory, and when Python upgraded to 2.4 and moved to /usr, I requested that we deliver a vendor-specific directory for that, too. I'd like to see the same here. Keep the emacs-bundled bits in one place, the end-user or site installed bits in another, and our value-add in a third. Makes for easier upgrade, customization, etc. > Also, if installed, would these constitute interfaces? As much as any of the other user-visible bits, yes. Danek
