Re: about the packages: directory names and places

Mule packages have poison (Mule encoded characters) in the

Mule packages are split away in order to allow them to coexist in the
same installation tree used by non-Mule XEmacsen.
I'm well aware of this. I'm afraid I was still not clear, sorry. I wrote:

I should have wrote:
| The mule subdir *at this place in the tree* is questionable to me.
What I said was questionable is to put this separation on the
same level as site and xemacs packages, and thus proposed to lower this
separation under each of these two last directories. That way, a non mule
XEmacs would look into site-packages and xemacs-packages, while a mulized
XEmacs would look into site-packages, site-packages/mule, xemacs-packages and
xemacs-packages/mule.
