This is a problem if these packages need to work with both emacs and
xemacs. The two are .elc file incompatible.

I think gnus might fit this criterion. It has a full blown makefile,
but I haven't checked to see how complicated the actions are. I think
at this point I favor Guy's service registration proposal, but there
are some details that have to be considered.
I won't be doing anything about any of this fancier stuff for a couple
of weeks, though.
