OK, what the heck is an EMACSPACKAGEPATH key doing in my registry? And
why does (getenv "EMACSPACKAGEPATH") return its value. <sigh> I knew
running windows was going to be painful again.
Anyway, if I comment out the code in
packages.el:packages-find-all-package-hierarchies that parses the
EMACSPACKAGEPATH env var, then configure-package-path is used and it is
parsed correctly (this is in vanilla beta, without Vin's patch), and all the
packages are found.
I'm going to try again with Vin's patch in a second.
OK, eveything seems fine with the patch. The question now is,
1). Is the parsing of EMACSPACKAGEPATH broken, or did I have it specified
incorrectly? The value here is ~\.xemacs;C:\Program
Files\XEmacs\site-packages;C:\Program Files\XEmacs\xemacs-packages
2). Where did it come from in the first place? Does the 21.4 installer set
it? Or did I set it and forget that I had it?
