Jack,

Thanks for all the tips and step by step instructions. 
The /sw_old was useful indeed to get the list of fink packages and also when I 
moved to Lion, xemacs was not available in fink for 10.7 and I had to launch 
the one in /sw_old for a while.
Now that xemacs is back (almost, some issues I haven't solved yet with my own 
setup which does not work exactly as before), I have (just) removed /sw_old.
I will rebuild /sw though as soon as my urgent matters are settled.

Thanks again,
Laurent
