I'm pretty sure this will require a `package-install-in-place' function, after looking at the source. Ugh. Would "make inplace" be a better name? >> The trunk-built Emacs may need to have been installed system-wide.

(All this would be much easier if the elpa branch was a subdirectory under trunk!) Ted
