PROPOSAL: porting emacsen-comon from Debian

[Akira TAGOH]

Hi,

I'd bring this issue up here. right now all elisp packages
has been bytecompilied at the build time. that worked fine
until now.  However xemacs has been moved to Extras and we
have had the possiblity of having the multiple version of
[x]emacs against the existance of Extras. consequently it
takes the problem rise. say, the elisp packages in Core
can't provides the bytecompiled elisp for xemacs, because
Core packages can't depends on Extras packages.  people
needs to have their own (duplicated) elisp packages to be
bytecompiled or needs any extra work for that. etc. and you
may wants to try the emacs CVS snapshot package. but it may
not work properly due to the incompatibility of the
bytecompiled code.

For such problems, Debian has the good thing to solve
them. emacsen-common package provides the facilities to
install the elisp files. although each elisp packages needs
to have a script to bytecompile them, it will be brought
up with every favor of [x]emacs from emacsen-common and the
elisp packages can provides the bytecompiled elisp without
installing each elisp packages like -el and -el-xemacs for
[x]emacs installed on your system.


The description may be insufficient. please comment on this,
if you have any objections. the discussion is always welcome :)


Thanks,
