make-dist doesn't distribute some quail files.

make-dist doesn't distribute some quail files.

[Lute Kamstra]

I'm reading make-dist.  Currently, it doesn't distribute (compiled)
Lisp files in leim/quail that start with a capital.  Can somebody
confirm this is a bug?  I'll fix it in that case.

Lute.

I think it's a feature.  We don't distribute the *.el files which
begin with a capital letter, either.  Those files are generated at
build time from TIT dictionaries (which we do distribute).

Currently, make-dist does include them.  I know of only one example of
a lisp file that starts with a capital letter, though: lisp/term/AT386.el.

I see.  I'll write a comment on that in make-dist.

Thanks,

  Lute.

No.  Those files are generated from data files under
leim/*-DIC at building time.

Not in the leim/quail directory, it doesn't.

    No.  Those files are generated from data files under
    leim/*-DIC at building time.

Would you please add a comment in the relevant place explaining
why these files are omitted?

I already added this comment in make-dist:

  ...
  ## Lisp files that start with a capital are generated from TIT
  ## dictionaries so we don't distribute them.
  ln quail/[a-z]*.el quail/[a-z]*.elc ../${tempdir}/leim/quail
  ...

Feel free to change it if you think it's not adequate.

Lute.
