        [I'm still planning on moving the non-c tm executables out of the core
prior to release, unless you've changed your mind.]

xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org:

...
 For 21.2, I suggest that we: 
...
 1. Generate `exec-path' from $PATH, and don't change
anything.
 2. See to it that packages use `exec-directory' for stuff from lib-src. 
A single directory is a lose.  We have to deal with external Lisp
packages that may wish to install executables into the search path
too.

At the moment the issue has been mostly ignored, but it shouldn't be.

...
 3. Move movemail into the main bin directory, and search for it
    through `exec-path', as Martin suggests. 
...
 Certainly, prepending architecture-specific stuff to `exec-path'
is
 bad juju. 
Why?  Except for the movemail case, it would seem reasonable to me.
