What does elpa-admin.el uses? Is it part of Emacs? I have no idea what it even is, so I don't what it does. Symblink is a hack, but one that makes all the features of project.el work out of the box (autoloads, quickstart, etc) and is almost cost-free in terms of wrok needed to add :). My only consideration was if it works on Windows/Mac.
