I was thinking that emacs packages could safely install them into
${prefix}/share/emacs/site-lisp potentially even if emacs wasn't
installed, as emacs-app checks there too.

But after taking a closer look at some of the ports in question, this
isn't a great idea -- many of them (though not all) byte-compile the
lisp source, meaning they do depend on (and need to find) an emacs
executable.

This digression aside, may I repeat my original request that someone
commit the patch in #22364 so that emacs builds on Snow Leopard?
Thanks.
