Emacs development...

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

It just occurred to me that there was no section in the manual dedicated to 
developing for emacs proper.

The CONTRIBUTE file is about administrative tasks.

Something like what the elisp intro is, but for general development.

For ex. is there a way to see the values of variables as I run the code, so 
that I don't need to modify the values of "message" here and there to have 
clues ?

What are the things I need to know and the basic steps to have a proper working 
environment to develop for emacs?
