This is not necessarily a good idea by default.  Mac, like Windows,
likes to localize these paths, and I suspect that this will cause
bugs.  Not to mention that the spaces in these will definitely be a
PITA to deal with in any UI context, because XEmacs still doesn't
handle those at all smoothly.

I would prefer that --with-user-packages and --with-system-packages be
used explicitly, as that will show up in Installation.
