Stefan, you've mentioned a few times here you'd like some build-scripts integration between GNU Elpa and the Emacs source at build time. Could you clarify on what it would take to get that done? - Is it just a matter of pulling in some extra specified packages when building the tarball? - What/where are the files involved in that process? - How would this work with developers who just clone emacs.git and run `make bootstrap`? Should the script ask the user to clone GElpa too? Thanks and cheer Artur
