packages location again

[Didier Verna]

        Hi !

I'm trying to give 21.5 a new chance, and I'm running into a problem I think I
had fixed a while back:

I put packages in /usr/local/share instead of /usr/local/lib because that's
where they belong. At some point in 21.5's history, there was the
--with-package-prefix (=/usr/local/share/xemacs) option which allowed me to
change the packages location quite easily.

Now here's the situation with today's CVS:

1/ this option seems to have gone, and it's not advertised by configure --help
   either. 

2/ I notice that configure.usage still mentions the old version (without the
   'with' prefix), and also the old version of --with-package-path. What's
   this file still doing here anyway ?

3/ --with-package-path doesn't work the way I want it to. I have not tried it
   yet, but I assume it requires a colon separated list of full paths to
   packages.


So am I obliged to use

--with-package-path=/usr/local/share/xemacs/site-packages:/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages:/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages

*again* ?


Thanks.
