Make the order of preloaded-file-list more sane. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2010-10-12 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * abbrev.el (fundamental-mode-abbrev-table, global-abbrev-table): Create both these abbrev tables using the usual #'define-abbrev-table calls, rather than attempting to special-case them. * cl-extra.el: Force cl-macs to be loaded here, if cl-extra.el is being loaded interpreted. Previously other, later files would redundantly call (load "cl-macs") when interpreted, it's more reasonable to do it here, once. * cmdloop.el (read-quoted-char-radix): Use defcustom here, we don't have any dump-order dependencies that would prevent that. * custom.el (eval-when-compile): Don't load cl-macs when interpreted or when byte-compiling, rely on cl-extra.el in the former case and the appropriate entry in bytecomp-load-hook in the latter. Get rid of custom-declare-variable-list, we have no dump-time dependencies that would require it. * faces.el (eval-when-compile): Don't load cl-macs when interpreted or when byte-compiling. * packages.el: Remove some inaccurate comments. * post-gc.el (cleanup-simple-finalizers): Use #'delete-if-not here, now the order of preloaded-file-list has been changed to make it available. * subr.el (custom-declare-variable-list): Remove. No need for it. Also remove a stub define-abbrev-table from this file, given the current order of preloaded-file-list there's no need for it.

This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the Info
hierarchy.  The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node,
which is (dir)Top.

Rather than adding new nodes to this directory (and this file) it is a better
idea to put them in a site-local directory, and then configure info to search
in that directory as well.  That way, you won't have to re-edit this file when
a new release of the editor comes out.

For example, you could add this code to .../lisp/site-start.el, which is
loaded before ~/.emacs each time the editor starts up:

  ;; find local info nodes
  (setq Info-directory-list
        (append Info-directory-list '("/private/info/")))

Then, when you enter info, a dir file like this one will be automatically
created and saved (provided you have write access to the directory).  The
contents of that file "/private/info/dir" will be appended to the contents of
this file.
