Just because you *can* implement most changes as hooks or with options
doesn't mean that's the best way to do it. For one, it makes updates
easier if all your local changes are in one directory and not mixed in
with the standard files. For another, sometimes what you want to change
isn't easily separated from what's already there; as an example Gould
man pages are sufficiently different in format that we have our own
man.el to clean up nroff crud.
