I have done so at:

The attached patch does the latter, copying the two elisp files to the 
site-elisp directory. It does not byte-compile the files or generate 
autoloads (we do we need to generate autoloads?). However, I don't think 
recutils 1.7 did either of those either, so at least we're no worse off 
then we were then.

What do you think?

Best,
Jack
