The question is whether such a package will install if the directories don't already exist in the package tree. I think a lot ot VM installations are in ~/.xemacs or ~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages and these package trees may not have the directories present when VM is installed. I don't want to delete the directories fro mthe tarball unless I know a first-time installation is still going to work.
