I have it in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp, which is already in
load-path.


In my .emacs I have

    ;; Non-std locations for elisp code
    ;;
    (setq load-path (append (list "/allan/gottlieb/share/emacs/") load-path))
    (if (file-exists-p "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el")
        (load "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo"))

and

    ;; Fancy colors
    ;;   Use my own color-theme, starting with `dark-laptop'
    (require 'color-theme)
    (color-theme-initialize)
    (load-file "/allan/gottlieb/.emacs.d/ajg-color-theme-library.el")
    (color-theme-dark-laptop)

I use both emacs-22 (22.1) and emacs-23 (23.0.60) with the setup
above.
