How can I build/package Emacs so that the C source files are installed to a standard find-function-C-source-directory?
I want to be able to view C source code of Emacs functions. For example, I want to be able to do M-: (find-function 'message).

Is the term "site", as in "site-lisp", unique to Emacs?
I've inferred from the context in which it's used that "site" refers to a multi-user environment, as opposed to a particular user's section of that environment. But it's hard to find a formal explanation or origin for such a generic term.

where to put .el files on Windows10 for loading at startup
I'm using emacs as a bog-standard program in Windows, and also from the command line in cygwin.
They both use the same installation of emacs.

How to load json.el included in emacs instead of fallback lib included in gnus
I want to use the json.el included in 24.5, but cannot do that, because gnus includes an older version of json.el that is loaded before the one from 24.5.
