That we can accommodate package systems _and_ install in sensible startup directory. Putting the bulk of our AUCTeX files into site-packages/auctex/lisp/auctex/ seems pretty absurd, for example. At the current point of time, preview-latex does not even dare making a guess where to install preview-latex.el: that is a long-standing wart of our installation process: that "make install" is not the last thing you need to do to have every file placed where one can start working. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
