Each package provides a shell script which byte-comiles the package's files. If a new emacsen is installed, it will call emacsen-install, which in turns calls each of the already-installed extension packages' install script. Those scripts get a parameter saying which emacsen which is being installed, so they can decide whether they work with that version or not. One has a similar emacs-remove script, which removes the byte-compiled files, either when an emacsen is being uninstalled or the package itself is being uninstalled. -- Tollef Fog Heen ,''`.
