I have another, but this one is a biggie!

The NT version of the gnat installer toasted my site-start.el. Now I expect
files such as ada-mode.el, ada-stmt.el, etc. to get changed. I made sure to
put our customizations in different files to protect against this. But
site-start.el is *mine*, not yours. I can see gnat appending stuff in there,
but it should never *replace* it.

To make matters worse, we have the site-lisp directory installed on a shared
drive with everyone's emacs configuration pointing to it. So now whenever any
developer decides to install gnat...wham! There goes our site-start again.

Fortunately, I keep my feathers numbered, for just such an emergency. %-)

T.E.D.
