In response to my suggestion to use site-init.el, Derek said:
	no.

	site-init.el is dumped into emacs, whereas default.el is loaded
	at run-time.

Emacs 19.22 INSTALL document says: 

"
4) Look at `./lisp/paths.el'; if some of those values are not right
for your system, edit the file `./lisp/site-init.el' containing Emacs
Lisp code to override them; you probably don't want to edit paths.el
itself. 
"

Why do you think you shouldn't be fixing the paths in the dumped emacs
image?
