My 2 cents. I think we have already discussed this, but I'm too

to search for it right now. I believe the consensus was that we should
have both. Let me elaborate it a little more since I don't think it
was spelled out clearly.
So, suppose we are talking about ~/.xemacs and ~/Library/Application
Support/XEmacs. One of these is the real directory, say ~/.xemacs, and
the other is a symlink to it. This has the advantage that ~/.xemacs
will not show up under the Finder with the default settings (and the
non-default settings have other annoyances that I'm not going to get
into), but ~/Library/Application\ Support/XEmacs does which is a nice
convenience. Similar arguments apply for /usr/local/share/xemacs (or
is it /usr/local/lib/xemacs?) and /Library/Application Support/XEmacs.
Of course, but what is your point exactly ? In particular, if by "we
should have both", you mean that every instance of XEmacs on OS X would
look for packages both in the Mac places and in the Unix places, you're
sure going to get trouble (duplicate features and stuff).
