You have my vote. Thanks. But I was a bit surprised that there weren't much responses to this. Do most people install Gnus Lisp files to the site-lisp/ directory, not a subdirectory, site-lisp/gnus/ for instance? Or, do most people always specify the --with-lispdir configure option? If there's no response after this, I will stop this argument. BTW, I noticed changing the default Lisp directory in which Gnus is installed might cause Lisp shadows, and what is worse, Emacs prefers site-lisp/ rather than site-lisp/gnus/. So, I will have to make the installer remove those shadows (or issue a warning) when I change the default lispdir. >>>> In addition to this, >>>> there's another problem that ``./configure; make install'' will >>>> never install .el files.

I did it in both the trunk and the v5-10 branch.
