For the purposes of

"This way, you can M-. right into the source code of with-open-file (or 
whatever)."

how much of the source checkout is actually necessary? This code will live 
in its own Debian package.

Specifically, I assume the following directories are not necessary: 
scripts, doc, examples, cocoa-ide, lisp-kernel (lisp kernel is all C code, 
as far as I can tell)

There are a bunch of arch-specific directories, which would not be used 
except on that platform, e.g. compiler/ARM, but it would be complicated to 
delete those.

Is there anything else I should remove?

Also, if I could have a simple CL program that drops into the sources, 
that would help me with testing. Thanks.
