Something is missing in the recipe above, because I get "No match"
when I press C-TAB in step 2.  What did I miss?  Is the above supposed
to work in any Emacs source tree?  Also, what should be the
default-directory in step 1 (if it's important) -- should it be the
root of the Emacs source tree?

Thanks.

P.S. Btw, C-TAB doesn't get bound on a TTY, even though I can emulate
C-TAB by typing "C-x @ c TAB".
