(Just to give some history) But I submitted a revision to that which you can see at: http://patchwork.newartisans.com/patch/377/ It didn't get any attention it deserved. The link I recommended to in `org-jambu.git' builds slightly further on what is in above patchwork queue. One can customize PKG_DATA (IIRC) to pick and choose what gets bundled. For example, with your changes one should able to build a new ELPA package, say org-e-*.tar, - which bundles all org-e-*.el files - which has dependency on org-*.tar or create a monolithic org-*.tar - which "pulls" chosen .el files (that are FSF-signed) in contrib and package it with regular files. I am not getting in to details here and it could be confusing. So ignore this message, if it is not clear what is trying to convey. --
