If users add their own Scheme files in different directories,
they still can alter %load-path in their .emacs.scm. I think
this would be a step in the right direction. I would also like
automatic installation, but that may be a little difficult to
implement. The easiest way might be to put the Scheme files
under src/emacs-20.6 too.

(I personally make ${prefix}/share/emacs/20.5/scheme a symlink to
the local CVS directory.)

I'll write a NEWS file based on ChangeLog and recent mails.
What other documentation do you have in mind: a complete manual
in Texinfo? I'm not sure I could manage that.
