If this were in the repo, would it become a maintenance burden once
you don't have time to do so yourself?  Obviously the Emacs build
process is relatively complex, so presumably maintenance would require
more than updating lists of files occasionally.

Of course, maybe it would be _less_ of a burden than maintaining the
current scripts etc... (presuming the additional dependency on cmake
is acceptable)
