I started some packaging work but nxhtml is very difficult to package
with debian emacs policy in mind.

1. This package runs some tests and patches on start and is trying to
write results to installation directory. So it requires write
permissions on directory and lintian complains.

2. It's hard to bytecompile this package witch emacs in batch mode. I've
been trying to run byte compilation ant mimic all settings defined in
nxhtmlmaint.el file and nxhtmlmain-start-byte-compilation function but
without success.

I could bytecompile without errors but I couldn't run bytecompiled
package with emacs. Nxhtml menu was not visible and almost all reatures
remain unloaded.

So I got everything else required to package nxhtml but cannot make this
compatible with debian policy.

It's quite easy to package just all distributed files. But then it's
impossible to initialize nxhtml properly from emacs.
