Re: Dependencies in lisp/

[Richard Stallman]

    I think Someone(tm) should figure out such dependencies between Lisp
    files and update lisp/Makefile.in accordingly.

That sounds to me like a lot of work, and I think there's an easier way:

   If something looks utterly absurd, but it worked for someone else,
   consider the possibility that you should do a bootstrap to make
   it start to work.
