In ELPA, there are no Makefiles at all.  Simply, every el file is
byte-compiled, and I think that's about it.  It currently also cannot
compile info docs, so we'd need to check them in, too.

But aside from that: the current ELPA structure is what we'd need to
have.  I think, the most important change is that all lisp files (except
the styles which are loaded by auctex itself and not required) have to
be top-level.  So basically, preview needs to be pulled one level up.
Which means that its own Makefile needs to me merged with the top-level
Makefile.

Bye,
