On a more general note:
If I find that packages such as fortran.el, compile.el, etc., need
changing to suit me, will having my own copy in my .xemacs directory
make XEmacs use them instead of the package in the normal one with
XEmacs?
IIRC, for them to get picked up automatically your .xemacs has to look
like a package root, ie, contain one or more of "xemacs-packages",
"mule-packages", and "site-packages". And the actual Lisp code needs
to live in (eg) ~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/prog-modes/fortran.el.
Agreed this is a bit baroque for a quick hack, but it makes life a lot
simpler for developers and others who keep a lot of personal package
variants around.
