It's preferrable to use NTEmacs for this step, even though the .elc
files should be compatible.

Yes and no.  As long as all the autoloaded functions continue to be in
the same load-file and their names don't change and there are no new
functions that need to be autoloaded, org-install.el effectively isn't
going to change.  But that's a deception, since there is no way you
could determine if it should have been changed unless you actually
generate it anew.

As I said, I'm still working to provide specifically for the case that
org-version.el is missing (which would normally produce an autoloaded
defconst org-version...) and injecting an org-version from looking at
the git version of the work-tree (if it finds one).  That will also
encompass an (autoloaded) function (with the load-file located in
UTILITIES/ most likely) that you can call in emacs to re-generate
org-install.el, since org-install.el is absolutely not optional.

So going forward make will not be a requirement for simply using org
either from Git or from tarball anymore.


Regards,
Achim.
