Re: Don't concat directories to file names

[Richard Stallman]

    The question is not how the directory is used; it is how the variable
    is used.  To XEmacs-the-program, and its subsystems, the operational
    meaning is "when you [re]*init*[ialize] the environment, the *user*'s
    configuration files may be found in this *directory*."

The names `emacs-config-directory' or `emacs-init-directory' seem to
fit what XEmacs does.  In Emacs, the directory is used for many other
things, including auto-saving.  So that name is not appropriate in
Emacs.
