[VETO] Support package-prefix and fix mail-locking in configure

Stephen> +--package-prefix=PATH Specify a directory under which packages will Stephen> + be searched. The directories `xemacs-packages' and Stephen> + (if MULE support exists) `mule-packages' (along with, Stephen> + optionally, `site-packages') should exist under this Stephen> + directory.

Yes, I just saw this as well. Also, I don't see a rationale for this---we need to make path searching simpler, not more complicated. Stephen> I would also support removing --package-path entirely. Yes. As to the mail-locking, listing "mmdf" and "pop" under "locking" seems very counter-intuitive to me, especially as pop is redundant with "with-pop". -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
