The build process is different. I use package.el to compile, and to
build the autoloads and the -pkg.el file. This could be done in the lisp
directory, but I'd have to exclude this directory from the normal build
process in the lisp directory.

I'm not at all wedded to the directory structure. This is just a
proof-of-principle. It can be what ever we want. Is there a problem with
introducing a new top level?
