I periodically install and modify files in my /usr/local/lib/emacs/lisp/ directory. I get really tired of wading through the billions of files there. Maybe I'm anal retentive, but I have this fear of directories that take more than a screen to print out. I would like to organize the directory contents into a set of sub-directories, setting the load-path variable to include each of the sub-directories by default at loadup time. I have two problems: 1) I can't set load-path with default.el or .emacs until after emacs tries to load in some files under /usr/local/lib/emacs/lisp. Therefore, I cannot file those files into a sub-directory, because they won't be found. Do I have to re-compile emacs to include the sub-directories in load-path from the very beginning? 2) I want to be able to edit the sub-directories, adding them and removing them, without recompiling emacs or editing the default.el file every time. I have defined a function that sets load-path to all the directories currently under .../emacs/lisp, but it takes too long to run. Is there a fast, smart way to do this?
