;;; Code:

(load "executable" t t)                 ; Non-fatal dependency on

;;; mh-progs and mh-lib used to be set in paths.el, which tried to
;;; figure out at build time which of several possible directories MH
;;; was installed into.  But if you installed MH after building Emacs,
;;; this would almost certainly be wrong, so now we do it at run time.
