Use more relative file and directory names in `lisp' make rules. * lisp/Makefile.in (EMACS): Arrange for it to work when we chdir. (setwins, setwins_almost, setwins_for_subdirs): Don't `cd'; output relative names. (all, compile, compile-always, compile-last): Set emacswd. (custom-deps, finder-data, autoloads, update-subdirs, compile-last): Just cd to the lisp source dir so we can use relative file names. * src/Makefile.in (bootstrap_exe): Use an absolute name.

This directory contains source code for the parts of Emacs that are
written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Emacs Lisp source, and the
corresponding *.elc files are byte-compiled versions.  Byte-compiled
files are architecture-independent.

The term subdirectory contains Lisp files that customize Emacs for
certain terminal types.  When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM
environment variable to get the terminal type and loads
`term/${TERM}.el' if it exists.

The other subdirectories hold Lisp packages grouped by their general
purpose.
