[h-e-w] optimal directory structure?

How do you have your windows emacs setup as far as directory
structure and HOME environment variable. 

Until now I have had emacs installed to c:\gnu\emacs  and had my
$HOME variable set to the same directory. I installed all
software to c:\gnu\emacs\site-lisp

Now I am beginning to think that it would make more sense (for
upgrading purposes), to have a completely separate home
directory (say c:\home) and have my site-lisp files be OUTSIDE
of the emacs directory, so I would have:

c:\gnu\site-lisp
c:\gnu\emacs\bin
c:\gnu\emacs\lisp

Then I could install a new emacs version and not have to move or
copy anything in my local lisp (site-lisp) directory, right? Is
there a way to tell emacs where the new site-lisp directory is
and have it pick up all the subdirectories?
