But my patch is not pretty. I'd be glad to attempt to improve it if there
are any suggestions.

One last time I'll advocate the change I was thinking of initially: re-add
the "ROOT/../site-lisp" entry to PATH_SITELOADSEARCH in epaths.nt, as in
the attached patch.

It would be possible to add a similar entry for Unix-like systems (by
modifying locallisppath in configure.ac), but to me that seems a weird
thing to do. I have not considered the NS build that Stefan mentioned.
