Not only does it work if you have a strange[1] /depot/gnu installation, but it also (now, thanks to Chipsy's attention to excruciating detail) works if you have some stray /usr/local/.../xemacs directories and whatnot lying around. Having stray stuff lying around is not recommended, but I don't think I can break the package installation system (ie, get an unexpected result) anymore. I know I couldn't do it without reading the code and looking _hard_ for anomolies.
