Multi-version installations

I currently have 21.5-b1/i686-pc-cygwin AND 21.4.3/i586-pc-win32. For maximum sharing, particularly of PACKAGES, I configured the windoze version into my Cygwin heierarchy so that I have: Cygwin: [C:/CYGWIN]/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.5-b1/i686-pc-cygwin/xemacs.exe Windoz: C:/CYGWIN/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.3/i586-pc-win32/xemacs.exe AND [C:/CYGWIN]/usr/local/lib/xemacs-packages/... ENV "EMACSPACKAGEPATH" is set appropriately. When I startup I get a bunch of complaints about various "Autoloads already loaded." If I do describe-variable "late-package-load-path" I find the things I expect from lib/xemacs-packages, but I also find *BOTH* xemacs-21.4.3 and xemacs-21.5-b1 version specific paths at the end of the package-loac-path list. Why? Would somewone please clue me in to how the initialization code deduces the package-load-path; either describe it or point me toward the info pages or even the lisp source. TIA -- David A.
