Suggestion: elisp files compression

[ESCOUFLAIRE Pierre-Louis]

Hello,

On installing emacs-22.1, I have noticed that elisp source files are 
compressed on 'make install'.

The problem is that navigating through gzipped elisp source files is 
transparent but byte-compiling them is not (for files with dependencies).

I understant that it is not really one's common to patch an elisp source 
file provided with emacs but should it not be possible to have a 
'--no_compress' (or look-alike) option to the 'configure' script so that 
problem for compilation transparency could be avoided?


Thanks for your concern.

Regards,
Pierre-Louis ESCOUFLAIRE.
