This are custom variables, if you use the default values, you do not need to
bother about the details.

E.g. you can use on jed.rc file with

require("/home/milde/.jed/lib/home-lib.sl"); 
register_libdir(Jed_Home_Library, Jed_Local_Library, Jed_Site_Library);

in both, WINDOWS and UNIX.

Utility functions can use it. e.g. update_home_lib() in make_ini, or my

 % find_file in home library
 public define find_home_lib_file()  
 {
    find_file_with_completion(Jed_Home_Library);
 }
