I understand your plights (especially after having seen the bug
reports), but I don't think our users will have as much understanding
when we require them to install GNU make to have XEmacs.

The last time I checked, XEmacs wouldn't build on Solaris without GNU
make.  That is fine for *me*, as I have it in my ~/work/bin.  However, 
a normal Solaris user/admin will ask: "Was it *really* impossible to
have the Makefiles work with ordinary make?"  I won't be able to give
an affirmative answer with a straight face.

...and then again, maybe I ought to shut up and see what's wrong with
those makefiles. :-)
