I suppose I'm missing something, but:  a very quick glance through the
sources seems to indicate that all that the macros PATH_EXEC and
PATH_LOADSEARCH are used for is to set some corresponding LISP
variables.  If that's really the case, why put them in src/paths.h?
Why not just setq load-path, exec-path, and exec-directory in
lisp/paths.el?

Thanks.

By the way...
