Even at home, it might be a better idea to store your changes in a separate
place, so they won't be overwritten by an update. Jed allows you to add more
library directories with the function set_jed_library_path().

The script "home-lib.sl" at    http://jedmodes.sf.net/devel
does this in a way consitent with many linux programs: it initializes a
directory ~/.jed/lib if it is present. This dir will be searched before the
standard library dir.

Now, if I want to change a mode/script, I can copy it to my ~/.jed/lib and
do the changes there. (And put all my homegrown/downloaded modes there as
well)
