Brave you, Ken. :) I've given up installing emacs for myself for a
long time, so I'm afraid I can't help you here. I still install
small packages from tarballs or sources from time to time, but
big ones like emacs and TeX are too time-consuming to me. I use
Debian GNU/Linux, where most things are available in the form of
binary packages. Add-ons to emacs (such as mew) are provided as
separate packages, which are installed for various versions emacs
(xemacs, emacs20, emacs21, etc.) automatically. I know this
doesn't install things under your home directory.
Anyway, I don't know if it's of any help to you, but I found elisp
files and their byte-compiled versions of mew in
/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/mew/ . I hope experts on emacs will
help you.
Regards,
Ryo
