Use temacs to dump out an executable which already has these files preloaded. It saves a lot of time. It's outalined in the "Building emacs" section of the Elisp manual (21.1 +) GI PS: Thanks to all who promptly responded to my query about compiling a light emacs. The prompt and helpful emails was much appriciated.
