 ** Package Path
 ===============
 
-For backwards compatibility and for ease of transition to XEmacs
-20.5+, it is possible to use previous XEmacs installations as package
-directories.  Specify something like
---package-path="~/.xemacs::/usr/local/lib/xemacs-20.3" to configure
-when building.  You will have extra messages at dump time relating to
-lisp shadows which you may ignore.  The magical null directory `::' is 
-a marker indicating where Lisp bundled with the running XEmacs gets
-put into the load path.  By specifing the older directories after the
-current one, the newer lisp overrides the older lisp.
