When configured with --enable-locallisppath=no, which is the default for OS
X, the load-path incorrectly was populated with ".".

See the following for for information:

Relative paths in `load-path' seems like a bad idea:

in particular, this results in this start-up warning:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Warning (initialization): Your `load-path' seems to contain
your `.emacs.d' directory: .
This is likely to cause problems...
Consider using a subdirectory instead, e.g.: /Users/sds/.emacs.d/lisp
