The Emacs tar file is the official release of Emacs. It includes the .elc files, and ./configure; make works to build it. It's not necessary for the CVS sources to support this. It would be NICE if they did, all else being equal. However, doing it in the obvious way (by bootstrapping) would be a big pain in the neck for people who build from CVS regularly. It would be too painful.
