-* XEmacs 21 packages
-
-XEmacs 21 has added the concept of installable packages searched prior
-to dump time when building.
-
-Packages are searched by default under /usr/local/lib/xemacs/packages/.
-The summary message in configure will tell you where XEmacs is looking 
-for them.  The packages hierarchy differs from site-lisp in that you
-do not have to install XEmacs to use it.  Indeed, the package path is
-searched prior to dump time so that installed packages have the same
-status as lisp distributed in the xemacs core tarball.
-
-The structure of each directory in the package search path should look
-like the base installed directory (ie. have etc/, info/, and lisp/,).
-Lisp is searched recursively.  It and all subdirectories are added to
-the `load-path'.  Each etc directory is added to `data-directory-list',
-and each info directory is added to `Info-default-directory-list'.
-
-A `find . -type d -print' in my top-level package directory reveals:
-./etc
-./etc/auctex
-./etc/auctex/style
-./etc/gnus
-./etc/skk
-./etc/gnusrefcard
-./etc/smilies
-./etc/message
-./info
-./lisp
-./lisp/gnus
-./lisp/auctex
-./lisp/auctex/man
-./lisp/footnote
-./lisp/skk
-
-
-AUCTeX and Gnus have package tarballs in
-	ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/packages/
-that you can simply untar in a package directory to install.
