I really think we should have exactly one expected place for the
"system" packages (== those supplied by XEmacs.org in the SUMOs) to be
by default. My personal opinion is that it should be a different
place from the core distribution, eg, c:\Program Files\XEmacs\ but I
could live with it being under (say) c:\Program Files\XEmacs-%VERSION%\
(although that would put us in the position of asking Windows users to
download the SUMOs on every install so it could get installed in the
right place).
What is your preferred place, Mike?
