Distributing packages with native emacs modules

[Immanuel Litzroth <immanuel.litzroth@gmail.com>]

Gents,
I'm trying to figure out how to distribute a package which has some C++ code
implementing an emacs module. I'm currently not 100% clear on all that:
1) It seems the package repo's only do byte compilation of el files?

2) Are there examples or packages doing compilation of modules?

3) It would be possible to wrap the compilation of the package in an
"(eval-when-compile"
but that would be quite laborious. Is that a route that has been taken
in the past?

4) The other option is to ship the code to the user and tell him/her
to run the compilation
if the binary module isn't there yet (possible providing an elisp
function to do that).

Any thoughts?
Immanuel
