Darryl, I've been searching for your "delete packages" patch for way too long now in my mail folders of xemacs-beta and xemacs-patches. I did the same on http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-beta and http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-patches, to no avail. Can you please point my to that patch in the mailing list archive or re-send it? I am willing to look into a patch fixing "standard" directories.
