Many packages are single source. They do not ship Makefiles or
*-autoloads.el. An example:
Developer Joe publishes A
Developer Mike publishes B, but uses A's package. To avoid troubles he
bundes A in his archive.
Later Developr A publishes new version. But B does not update his copy.
Elsewhere
Zoe wants to use latest A and latest B, so he does downloads both from
version control trees. He intends to test to see if B still works with
latest A:
emacs -L /patch/to/A -l A -l path/to/B -l B
The -L option would be helpful in combining code from differe directories.
