It looks like the installed package has 21 .elc files in the quail  
directory that aren't included in the distribution.  (And 21 .el  
files, I assume, but haven't verified.)

I assume the issue is space versus build time.  I guess the question  
is just where to draw the line.  As far as I recall offhand, all the  
other generated files that are independent of configuration options  
and platform are all the other .elc files and a couple  
regenerated .el files, and we include those in the distribution.  Not  
really a big deal, either way...
