Hi,

I found something strange:

1) The only place `pkgdir' is used or set is in the main makefile, but 
   nobody seems to look at it. (Set by configure)

2) The file CHANGES-beta talk about a pkg-dir (typo mistake?) but
   nobody uses this string (I grepped though the sources..)

3) I saw in the sources the use of PACKAGE_PATH in src/emacs.c:

    #ifndef PACKAGE_PATH
    #define PACKAGE_PATH "/etc/xemacs:~/.xemacs"
    #endif

   When PACKAGE_PATH is mentioned in src/config.h (as a comment)

Are they related to each other?
