just a thought:

you can probably go a step further and add support for copying the source
under something like PREFIX/share/emacs/VERSION/source upon "make install",
perhaps by specifying "configure --enable-full-source-install".  then weird
people like me can take it to the logical extreme and add support for
"--enable-full-build-environment-install", the result being ability to do "M-x
rebuild-emacs".  these options would be disabled, normally.
