I notice that Mandrake is locating things in
/usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.9/i386-mandrake-linux/ while the built-in update
process for Xemacs places them in /usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc

This leads to a situation where my harddrive now contains:

# ls /usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc
auctex/  frame-icon/      idlwave/  mew/       ps-print/  time/
bbdb/    gnats/           ilisp/    mine/      reftex/    vm/
e/       gnus/            jde/      mule/      slider/    w3/
ediff/   gnusrefcard/     lisp/     mule-doc/  smilies/   xslt-process/
eicq/    hm--html-menus/  message/  psgml/     sounds/    zenirc/

# ls /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.9/i386-mandrake-linux/etc/
enriched.doc  liece/  mule/  mule-doc/  mule-ucs/  psgml/  ps-print/  reftex/

The former appears to be left over from long-since upgraded Xemacs
releases now leaving me with the issue of figuring out which are
duplicates and which are updates.

Is the i386-mandrake-linux dir is more correct?  Is it safe to symlink
xemacs-packages to i386-mandrake-linux ?  Do I have a real mess or
what?

Is it /wise/ to fork Xemacs incompatibly with it's own package manager?
