Lisp code you want XEmacs to load before it is dumped out. Use
By default, XEmacs installs its files in the following directories:
`/usr/local/bin' holds the executable programs users normally run -
- `xemacs', `etags', `ctags', `b2m', `emacsclient',

`gnuclient', `gnudoit', `gnuattach', and `rcs-checkin'.
`/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/lisp' holds the Emacs Lisp libraries;
kinds of machines share the file system XEmacs is
installed on.
+`/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME/modules' holds the Emacs

Remember that you must specify any variable values you need each time
you run `make' in the top directory. If you run `make' once to build
xemacs, test it, and then run `make' again to install the files, you
