I recently upgraded from emacs 21.4 to 22. Some of the packages I used
were not part of the earlier distribution. I am trying to learn about
ways to check what is actually included in a distribution. Are slocate
or manual inspection of site-lisp the two main options?

I ask because I do not know.

Um. let me rephrase my question: is planner-el a *replacement* for
"planner" -- or does it *rely* on it?
