  I believe these options already exist (although I never managed to
understand the --with-{early/late/whatever}-package mess). To me, the
question is more about the default values, which should conform to
whatever "platform standards" exist.

IMHO, the native carbon port should use the paths I mentioned because it
is the Mac Way. However, I still believe that an XEmacs compiled for X11
on MacOS X is more Unix oriented and should stick to
/usr/local/share/xemacs.
