 9.1 Emacs Lisp
 ==============
 
 Automake provides some support for Emacs Lisp.  The `LISP' primary is
 used to hold a list of `.el' files.  Possible prefixes for this primary
 are `lisp_' and `noinst_'.  Note that if `lisp_LISP' is defined, then
 `configure.in' must run `AM_PATH_LISPDIR' ( Macros).
 
    By default Automake will byte-compile all Emacs Lisp source files
 using the Emacs found by `AM_PATH_LISPDIR'.  If you wish to avoid
 byte-compiling, simply define the variable `ELCFILES' to be empty.
 Byte-compiled Emacs Lisp files are not portable among all versions of
 Emacs, so it makes sense to turn this off if you expect sites to have
 more than one version of Emacs installed.  Furthermore, many packages
 don't actually benefit from byte-compilation.  Still, we recommend that
 you leave it enabled by default.  It is probably better for sites with
 strange setups to cope for themselves than to make the installation less
 nice for everybody else.
