I became stuck right here at the 1st item: what do you mean by "files
containing macros need to be built and loaded"?  For the "loaded"
part, we use 'require' and 'eval-when-compile', and these work with
*.el files exactly as they do with *.elc or *.eln.  So what exactly is
the problem you are alluding to here, and in particularly what happens
when you "build" these files with macros that requires them to be
built?

Without understanding this, I cannot follow the rest of your
description.

(Andrea, I hope you are following this.)
