Just curious as to why share/emacs and share/emacs/site-lisp are created by
BSD.local.dist instead of by the emacs ports which might want to use them?
It's not a big deal, but it seems to me that these aren't useful for the
general case of someone not wanting to install an emacs port (strange as that
may sound [1]). I suspect it's for historical reasons, but it doesnt mean it
can't be removed if sufficient time is deemed to have passed.
