This isn't really a problem, is it ? The key idea would be to check
for the /share-directory (and of course to check whether one is
allowed to write on it) and to use /lib otherwise as the default. I
certainly like the idea (mostly running Linux), although I also like a
package of the size of XEmacs not to spread its various files all
over /.
