Re: [AC21.5] Fix EMACSPACKAGEPATH

Your original advice was to modify the root-finding code, and I have
done that; with my modification installed, the parent of the
xemacs-packages directory is correctly found as a root and a data
root, but the xemacs-packages directory does not get searched and
added to load-path.
I'll do this, along with a few other patches cleaning up this code.
Two questions:

I'm worried about code accretion in `paths-emacs-root-p' and
`emacs-data-root-p'---could you send me a directory tree listing of
the Windows XEmacs, and possibly give me an idea what environment
variables/registry settings/configure-xxx variables are set on
Windows?

I'm wondering---shouldn't this be `(eq system-type 'windows-nt)'. I
don't even know if that would include Cygwin. But shouldn't Cygwin be
more like Unix than like Windows native?
