  well, to add a little substance to jordan's wind, and because
  "putzfrau" is my middle name, may i suggest the following as a
  starting point:

  create the following directories and add them to emac's search path.
  the first set suggests a breakup of the currently distributed lisp files:

	lisp/edit	files basic to editing like simple.el and files.el
	lisp/modes	major modes
	lisp/mmodes	minor modes
	lisp/term	fits right in
	lisp/win	window stuff like the sunview or x button maps.
	lisp/stuff	bad name.  non-editing functions including ftp, telnet,
			compiling, gdb, mail, gnews...

	lisp/contrib	where the stuff of the net is kept
	lisp/local	where jordan's hacks are kept

  in the make install section, for example, a "head -1" of all the
  files could be written to /usr/local/lib/emacs/lisp/README.

  and if someone has time, they would make a lot of people happy by
  writing a texinfo emacs manual addendum that includes all the things
  that are not covered in the main emacs manual (such as the recently
  mentioned mh-e).
