The usage of org-install has the pre-requisite of having to compile
the org.el files. This is no use to people like myself, who want to
use the same .el files in XEmacs and Emacs due to incompatible .elc
problems. Its also no use to people who do no have a build system or
make binary installed e.g. windows users, locked down linux/unix
systems etc.
How about adding a skeleton org-install.el that gets overwritten by the make?
Tim.
