I think that the vast majority of users don't need to tinker with the
package path at all. And they shouldn't unless there's a strong
overriding reason to do so.
A somewhat related feature wish:
I'd love to be able to download a new sumo, unzip it into c:/tmp/sumo, and
start XEmacs with "--only-look-for-packages-under=c:/tmp/sumo".
No matter how XEmacs was built.
That way I could try out a new sumo, while still having an XEmacs instance
running with my old setup to do any "must be done NOW" work.
