Actually, that's what I thought too when I posted, but reading it now
shows that the second copy is in site-lisp (which only holds
subdirs.el with a new emacs install).  Tree-widget seems to have
gotten into site-lisp back when I used the gentoo emerge installation
for clisp (since removed).  Diff shows the two copies indentical, so I
will leave the slime copy and rm the site-lisp copy.

Thanks again for a great IDE, I'm at the point now where if I cannot
get slime working (MSwindows needs different tricks), I won't use the
lisp implementation.
