Reiner,

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to stimulate any discussion on the
issue about modifying or not modifying image-load-path on emacs-devel.
So I haven't heard any arguments against modifying the path, let alone
arguments that are more compelling than my own. But I think that in
order to expedite getting image-load-path (the function) into image.el
so that we can use *-defun-compat to simply alias (or define) it in our
own code, I think I'll update the MH-E code to use scoped variables in
the same way that you folks do, barring dissent from the MH-E masses.

I'll work on porting your posted version back to MH-E so that they will
be as close together as possible. If you've changed it since your post
last Wednesday, please let me know (maybe sending me the URL to the file
in your repository might be a good idea, ours is
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/emacs/lisp/mh-e/mh-utils.el?root=emacs&view=markup).

(So there will be a slight delay in the 7.93 release.)

Once our two versions are the same (modulo the prefix), I'll add a
function called "image-load-path" to image.el, although maybe we should
talk about the name first.

I've already renamed this to mh-image-directory per your suggestion.
