You could and it would work. The idea is that the Preferences folder  
contains user preferences (like to load a certain package), but the  
App Support folder contains plugins and code developed by others.  
That just seemed to be the way things are organized in the Library  
directory.
But to be honest - it doesn't matter that much in practice.

You're quite right - but it's something that is wrong with "tuareg",  
not Emacs. Tuareg could provide the above in a little piece of code.

Also, Aquamacs (as opposed to plain Emacs) offers the ability to  
create plugins that, once installed (via a simple file copy, or an  
installer package) will be loaded automatically. This is described in  
the documentation.
