Is there a standard procedure for porting emacs-lisp packages? I don't
see much mention of them in the archives. The porting checklist says
to put info files in /usr/local/info, but does not mention emacs-lisp
files. /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ seems like the right place
for elisp files from ports. Rather than updating /usr/local/info/dir
to reflect new info files, a pkg/MESSAGE suggesting the port installer
modify the dir themselves seems best. Any other considerations?

I am working on ports of a couple elisp programs, such a far newer
version of MH-E. The version currently bundled with GNU Emacs is
incompatible with the nmh version in the ports tree. Would flavors to
install for GNU Emacs / XEmacs (when the currently-ported XEmacs
doesn't already have a relatively new version) be good?
