I too have been using the the --site-libraries and --site-includes
switches for a year or more.  However my understanding is that the
work Martin did for the autoconf 2 stuff obviated this, and so in
order to test it let it get on with it itself.

The point I was actually making was that I correctly had PNG, X-Face
and JPEG support detected, and I have these installed in
/usr/local/... along with XPM.  If I had incompatible headers and
libraries for XPM I would have expected my configure --with-xpm to
fail too, however it didn't and XEmacs doesn't seems to be giving me
any grief in this area.

I do think an option to turn this automatic /usr/local detection stuff
off would be a Good Thing.
