If you want to copy the C files on "make install" to DIR (a laudable initiative, you are to be commended!), i suggest you: =2D grok configure.ac =2D add there support for option =E2=80=98--install-C-source DIR=E2=80=99 (with default not to install) =2D arrange to tweak =E2=80=98source-directory=E2=80=99 on "make install" =2D test a few times - in "strict convention" contexts - outside "strict convention" contexts (use your imagination, or ask around; weird and wonderful people abound!) =2D post a patch for review =2D bask in the glow once the revised^N patch is installed =2D mention this (v.cool, IMHO) feature on EmacsWiki Lastly, you can (optionally) prepare for the onslaught of "next step" bug reports, wherein users stumble upon the feature and wonder how to make a modification to the code and see the effect immediately in action.
