While we're at it, could you please remind me how to tell ./configure
where I want XEmacs to find packages at run time?

I'm not installing the built XEmacs, which is at:
    ~/emacs/xemacs.hg/xemacs.
My packages directory, also not installed is at:
    ~/emacs/xemacs.hg/xemacs-packages.

I've tried .... --with-system-packages=~/emacs/xemacs.hg/xemacs-packages
                --with-system-packages=~/emacs/xemacs.hg
		--with-package-path=~/emacs/xemacs.hg/xemacs-packages
		--with-system-packages=~/emacs/xemacs.hg/
		--with-system-packages=~/emacs/xemacs.hg/xemacs-packages/
		--with-package-path=~/emacs/xemacs.hg/xemacs-packages/xemacs-packages

, and perhaps a few more combinations.  The result is always the same -
XEmacs builds, but at runtime there is nothing in `load-path' pointing
at my packages directory.

Help, please!
