sperber(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de (Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor]) writes: They are in the new version of the code I proposed. The only trouble is that if they are not found we need to go off and load .eamcs. Therefore the advertised locations becomes ~/.xemacs/lisp/init.el but it could as well be in in ~/.xemacs/lisp/my-own-init/init.el or anywhere else. Any special location for early.el, init.el etc and friends goes away they are just normal Emacs libraries that get 'load'ed. Nice and clean. That is why putting them in ./xemacs (i.e. no lisp dir) is ugly because that still needs special casing. Therefore I propose to autodetect where we loaded them from and by default write the customs back there. This will also work with customizations in .emacs if you want to be compatible with FSF Emacs. The only thing that is fixed is that BY DEFAULT a NEW options.el in ~/.xemacs/lisp/ is used when there were no previous customizations. I you want to change that, just set custom-file.
