We could drop lpath/dgnushack in favor of automake's elisp support.  I
did that locally a few weeks ago, without any obvious problem.  It
generated a bunch of new byte compiler warnings, which we should fix.
I didn't handle the XEmacs specific part, but they could easily be
hidden in an automake condition, enabled by --with-xemacs or
emacs/xemacs guessing logic.

Opinions?  I guess Lars will have to decide, since there are several
rules in the makefiles that seem to be used by him only.
