The user doesn't even have to invoke it: package-install can invoke it
(indirectly) by having something akin to

    (eval-when-compile (shell-command "make"))

in one of the Elisp files.


I thought ELPA packages could only contain el files? (granted, even if that
is the case, I could always encode the C code in elisp code, but that's a
bit ugly)
