Is that with or without Leim?  If the latter, I wonder how come they
are so much smaller (6MB) than we are.  They do have ELisp manual
bundled, I believe, and Calc alone, even if it is not part of sumo,
cannot explain such a large difference.

You don't need a full bootstrap to byte-compile all the Lisp files.
We just need to figure out the right order of byte-compilation, and
then augment the Makefile with the necessary commands.

I'm doing the equivalent of that for quite some time, whenever I
resync with the CVS.  I don't think I did "make bootstrap" more than
once or twice.
