Excellent, thanks a lot!


Installing into site-lisp/org would definitely make sense, I have
not yet worked on the installation code, this is next.....


Presumably, one can also use the git downloaded lisp/ directory as-is
(after calling make of course) to activate and use org mode?

Yes, if you are a single user who wants to stay up-to-date with the
bleeding edge development, this is a very good method.

Still, the makefile has an "install" target, and that should
do something useful for people who want to install the package,
maybe for a group of users.

I prefer to use the git working copy (if it can be called that) folder
as the location of the package instead of installing it before use.


One minor bug report;

Makefile does not generate the info file upon calling make.  One has
to run

make info

to generate it.  Can this default behaviour be changed to generate the
info file upon calling make?

No, because the danger is too high that systems do not have the tools in place
to correctly create the info file.  And the same Makefile is used in the
distribution (zip and tar) files, which contain the ready info file.

I think from a git user I can ask this extra step. I will make is so that

make all

will also make the info file, ok?
