If you _do_ care about 100MB of disk space (I do, as I have a small
disk), you could use the "emacs/quick-install-emacs" script to install
Emacs, instead of "make install".  It hard links installed files instead
of copying them (which allows much faster re-installs as well as saving
space), and will optionally purge old cruft like DOC-*.  To do this you
should give it the "-p" (--prune) option.
