That sounds excruciating.  Why not do:

   cd .../elpa
   rm **/*.elc
   make EMACS="emacs-23.1 --batch"

Admittedly, your system is slightly closer to what the end-user will do,
so it may give slightly more precise results in some cases.

[ Better just attach them so they're easier to view in the MUA.  ]

Looks fine to me, thanks,
