"make install" doesn't

[Kai Großjohann]

I just noticed that "make install" appears to install *.elc files
only, and skips the *.el files.

OK to fix?

Do we really need the *.el files when installing Gnus? IMHO the
*.elc files are enough, they are working well without the *.el
files.

Yes! Otherwise, C-h f and friends become much less useful.

You don't need the source files for `C-h f' to work.

Huh.  I've been using "make install" for month or years and it
always(?) installed the *.el files.

Well, right, C-h f and friends still work without the *.el files,
but the ever-so-useful hyperlink that `describe-function-1'
generates failes miserably unless you have the source around. I'd
say I follow these hyperlinks a pretty significant amount of the
time.

For Oort, I think we'd like to be able to tell users to M-x RET
load-library RET gnus.el RET to get better backtraces.
