I don't think we need to make it a goal to uncompress _only_ the Emacs sources. We either decide that that will ALWAYS find compressed files in that context, or we accept the hit with C-h f and disabled a-c-m. I think the former is a fine choice, and changing find-func is a fine implementation. I think the best thing is NOT to compress our source files with "make install". The compressed lisp directory contains 9.5 Mb of .el.gz files. Uncompressed, it's a bit around 38.5 Mb. This saving of ~30 Mb doesn't seem worth the hassle it causes. It is not a lot of hassle, and 38mb is still significant. How about making the fix in find-func?
