Well, that goes hand in hand with the fact that the *.el files under
leim/ are not byte-compiled in the tarball. Basically, a remnant from
ye-old days when Leim was a separate package. I think we should
compile all the *.el files under leim/ as well, but Stefan once told
me something that I interpreted to mean he would rather go in the
opposite direction -- let the build process compile all the *.el files
under lisp/ and ship them uncompiled in the tarball. Maybe I
misunderstood.

Yes.

Yes, that part is clear.
