I use package.el to compile, and to build the autoloads and the -pkg.el file. This could be done in the lisp directory, but I'd have to exclude this directory from the normal build process in the lisp directory. I'm not at all wedded to the directory structure. This is just a proof-of-principle. It can be what ever we want. Is there a problem with introducing a new top level? Phil
