OK.  But after applying the patch on the master branch, I get this
while byte-compiling:

  In toplevel form:
  expand.el:91:2: Error: Eager macro-expansion failure: (error "Eager macro-expansion skipped due to cycle:
      => (load \"expand.el\") => (macroexpand-all (define-skeleton expand-c-for-skeleton  )) => (macroexpand (define-skeleton  )) => (load \"skeleton.el\") => (load \"expand.el\")")

  In toplevel form:
  skeleton.el:34:11: Error: Eager macro-expansion failure: (error "Eager macro-expansion skipped due to cycle:
      => (load \"expand.el\") => (macroexpand-all (define-skeleton expand-c-for-skeleton  )) => (macroexpand (define-skeleton  )) => (load \"skeleton.el\") => (load \"expand.el\")")
  Makefile:335: recipe for target `skeleton.elc' failed
  make[3]: *** [skeleton.elc] Error 1
  make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  Makefile:335: recipe for target `expand.elc' failed

Could you please DTRT to avoid these errors?
