Seems complex to implement and not very robust: In particular,

./configure --prefix=/path/to/lisp/dir && make && make install

Will not install the CHANGELOG file where you expect it to be. 

This will  also be broken the day  xtla is included in  GNU Emacs, the
day it will be distributed as  a .deb, .rpm, ... package that will put
.el files in a specific directory.
