[ESS] How to include ESS in site-start?

[David Reitter]

Hi Stephen,

yes I did file a bug report on this. With the way I've integrated ESS  
into Aquamacs, everything works fine except when you load a remote  
(R) file via tramp. I think I've pointed out the bug back then as  
well (assumption of a local working dir at a certain point).

Site-wide deployment (and that's the mechanism we use in Aquamacs) is  
a standard in the Emacs world... It may not be used that often, but  
it is fully supported in GNU Emacs.

I can see if I can come up with a bug fix, but I guess I also have my  
own bugs to worry about these days :-)

Cheers
David
