31 ;;; Code:
33 ;; This is a good place to gather code that is used for compatibility
34 ;; between different versions of Emacs. Please document which versions
35 ;; of Emacs that the defsubst, defalias, or defmacro applies. That
36 ;; way, it's easy to occasionally go through this file and see which
37 ;; macros we can retire.
39 ;; Please use mh-gnus.el when providing compatibility with different
40 ;; versions of Gnus.
42 ;; Items are listed alphabetically (except for mh-require which is
43 ;; needed by a lesser character).

124 suitable for LIBRARY, which includes \"../../etc/images\" and
125 \"../etc/images\" relative to the library file itself, and then
126 in \"`data-directory'/images\".
128 Then this function returns a list of directories which contains
129 first the directory in which IMAGE was found, followed by the
130 value of `load-path'. If PATH is given, it is used instead of

134 signal an error. Instead, return a list of directories as before,
135 except that nil appears in place of the image directory.
