Various files and directories locations are controlled
by several lisp variables.  See

doc/implementation/dir_vars.txt

for complete list of such variables.

Corresponding environment variables normally
are empty but can be used to _override_
default values.

Probably it is good idea to package this
information in appropriate README or
new reference manual section.
