I had to get something out, the old stuff was decidedly nonrobust, I
had to accommodate several new locations and getting it all to work
reasonably under Windows and stuff would have been too much of chore.
The order that was checked including libdir and things) did not seem
to obey any defensible or at least well-documented rationale.  I had
several reports were the installation happened into decidedly bad
trees.  Now we are down to bad subtrees.  Sorry for that.

I am sorry that this looks I throw something half-baked out and people
have to clean up behind me, but I needed something to get finished,
and it has not looked in the last weeks as if there was much help or
interest to be expected.  The code is a precursor of things to come in
AUCTeX, of course.  So we better get it wrinkled out before we unify.
