Re: USER-INIT-DIRECTORY and all that jazz
What about
HOME=~user xemacs
as a substitute for
xemacs -u user
or is there more to it than that?

Please, guys, it's not a matter that I don't agree with you.
It's
just that I don't know how to fix it. I really invite you to try. I
thought it would be easy. It's not.
What's worse, a number of packages use the information provided -u in
the wrong way (or not at all). I think it's better to have no feature
than a feature which doesn't work at all like you'd expect.
I can envision *replacing* -u by arguments along the lines of
"-user-init-file" and "-user-init-directory" for ~/.emacs and
~/.xemacs, and providing something like -u through that. How does
that sound?
