Hi Stephen:

You lost me about 3 sentences into your other post, so I won't comment 
on that
one.  However, I think this post is not correct: site-lisp/ess/lisp is 
added to the
load-path in 21.5.  What I was missing is that this is a configure 
option.  So,
can we get 21.4 built for the Windows installer with this option turned on?

Thanks,

Rodney
