Hi all, at work, we use Solaris and we've got a customized installation of Emacs in some strange path. The equivalent of /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp contains quite a few files. How does one merge such customizations with the installation of a port in FreeBSD? I thought it would be easiest to just use /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp, but then it occurred to me that I might install some port which depends on psgml-emacs20, thus going to the directory then `make install' is going to clobber my site-lisp directory, which is no good. What do you guys do in a similar situation? Of course, similar thoughts apply to other software package, so don't let my mention of Emacs throw you. Thanks, kai -- I like _b_o_t_h kinds of music.
