Ah, that's the advantage of being project leader.  Unless developers
threaten to abandon ship because of it, I have nothing to fear.
Honestly, if you have a better idea of how to achieve this, feel free
to do so.  It is apparent that I am getting fond of achieving stuff
with EMACS_LISP.

Uh, transferring information from configure to EMACS_LISP works just
fine.  That's what the $4 and $5 arguments are for, and they do the
trick, including terrifying quoting characters and spaces.

The LISPIFY stuff is for transferring directory specifications _out_
again, and in a form appropriate for substituting into *.el files.
