emacs-for-python is growing with static bundles

[gabrielelanaro]

This is quite an issue since it's becoming very large in size. In addition updating of the libraries can be quite a pain since are all statically included.

Solutions

1. Removing the bundles and download the various stuff with a script
2. Bundling in a compressed format
3. Combination of 1) e 2)
4. Using elpa?

There is a new emacs repository that is great, I can upload the stuff here
http://marmalade-repo.org/

Whilst we are using emacs 23.x it would not be good to switch to marmalade. The fact it requires a different package.el as its now based on emacs 24.x has caused me many headaches.

Using beta builds of 24.x on windows with marmalade works well though. Here is a ink on github addressing issue of package.el incompatability. nex3/marmalade#3
