;;; Code:

;; This is a good place to gather code that is used for compatibility
;; between different versions of Emacs. Please document which versions
;; of Emacs that the defsubst, defalias, or defmacro applies. That
;; way, it's easy to occasionally go through this file and see which
;; macros we can retire.

;; Please use mh-gnus.el when providing compatibility with different
;; versions of Gnus.

;; Items are listed alphabetically (except for mh-require which is
;; needed sooner it would normally appear).

(defun-mh mh-image-load-path-for-library

  "Return a suitable search path for images used by LIBRARY.

It searches for IMAGE in `image-load-path' (excluding
\"`data-directory'/images\") and `load-path', followed by a path
suitable for LIBRARY, which includes \"../../etc/images\" and
\"../etc/images\" relative to the library file itself, and then
in \"`data-directory'/images\".

Then this function returns a list of directories which contains
first the directory in which IMAGE was found, followed by the
value of `load-path'. If PATH is given, it is used instead of
`load-path'.

If NO-ERROR is non-nil and a suitable path can't be found, don't
signal an error. Instead, return a list of directories as before,
except that nil appears in place of the image directory.

Here is an example that uses a common idiom to provide
compatibility with versions of Emacs that lack the variable
`image-load-path':
