The README led me think that's how to build an archive. The README is
silent about running the default make target, so clearly needs an
update.

When I 'make':

  $ make
  # Do them in a sub-make, so that autoloads are done first.
  make elcs
  make[1]: Entering directory `/psd15/linux/boreilly/sw/elpa'
  EMACS -f batch-byte-compile packages/dict-tree/dict-tree.el
 
  In toplevel form:
  packages/dict-tree/dict-tree.el:54:1:Error: Cannot open load file: trie
  make[1]: *** [packages/dict-tree/dict-tree.elc] Error 1
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/psd15/linux/boreilly/sw/elpa'
  make: *** [all-in-place] Error 2

For starters, the output is wrong about the command issued.

When I manually add the necessary -L flags (-L packages/trie/ -L
packages/heap/ -L packages/tNFA/ -L packages/queue/) then I could byte
compile with warnings. But how is it supposed to get the load paths?
