Re: Correct Paths to Emacs C Sources after Installation

OK, let's forget about installing sources with Autotools, that was just an
optional feature that I thought of, but that is not an important point here.

Many package managers have options to install sources separately from
binaries and by convention they are usually installed under corresponding
"src/<package-name>" suffix. This is what makes my proposal reasonable.
Otherwise users end up with hard coded path to random directory from a
build machine. Is that what you consider a reasonable default for the
majority?
