The question was: I wrote a command line utility in ELisp (it doesn't provide interactive commands; just a command line interface). What's the preferred way for users to install it? > I simply don't think that wrapper scripts and/or compiling binaries > is appropriate for ELPA packages, it just opens one big can of worms > that I don't really want to deal with in any way. I don't understand this part too well. Are you saying that ELPA isn't the right place to distribute a command line application written entirely in ELisp? (Note that the task that I'm describing has nothing to do with compiling binaries — sorry if that wasn't clear).
