I object to this idea, as I prefer never to change the distributed files.
Setting up a separate directory for contributions allows to copy files
there and change them there (this saves your changes from being
overwritten with the next upgrade and also makes it clear, which files
are changed and which are original). If you want to separate foreign
contribs from your own creations, set up one more slang-library as
described below.

My preferred method is to leave this setup to the home-lib mode from
jedmodes (it will add a Jed_Site_Library and a Jed_Home_Library to the
jed-library-path when they exist and do some more initializing).
See the USAGE instructions in the source.
