Re: cl-defstruct-based package.el, now with ert tests and no external tar!

[Dmitry Gutov]

I've checked in the tests, along with some tweaks and previously 
discussed simplifications. I've also taken the liberty to change the 
commentary, because the test suite hasn't eaten my package dir even once 
so far, and let-binding `package-alist' around the body of the big scary 
macro seems to make sure that the list of installed packages is also 
kept intact.

Thanks for your work, even though it hasn't been adopted in its 
entirety. If you feel strongly about some feature that hasn't been taken 
in, it should be easier to make a smaller, targeted patch now.

Comments and suggestions welcome, especially of the "why do the tests 
have to do that thing to make things work?" variety.
