Normally the user simply compiles the files in question, and adds one
line to configure.in.

Emacs is a bit unusual, since it doesn't use aclocal or automake, so
it needs more changes to configure.in and lib-src/Makefile.in.

I don't offhand see how to avoid the changes to lib-src/Makefile.in.
error.c is like getopt.c, so it needs to be handled like getopt.c is
handled, and that is what those changes do.  If Emacs used automake
this would all be done automatically, but in the mean time it looks
like a by-hand operation.

I could simplify the changes to configure.in, though, at least for
Emacs.
