LGTM

ELPA will not automatically choose some path to use for the
documentation.  Instead we have to explicitly give some path in the
package specification.  This can be a .org file as well, that the build
server will compile to a .texi and then an .info file.

That was a typo, I meant to use (1+ ...), since we have now replaced the
(< loc end) with a (<= loc end), which is not correct, while (< loc (1+
end)) is.

Here as well, I believe that was a failed experiment, where I just
removed the log from message-log-max.  Ignore that.
