One comment though: given that most of us have these libs compiled,
wouldn't it be possible to ship a tree with all the libs/includes,
readily installable using tar? The installation instructions would be
simple enough:

mkdir <local-support-area>
cd <local-support-area>
tar xvf ...
cd <xemacs-dir>
./configure --site-includes=<local-support-area>/include
            --site-libraries=<local-support-area>/lib
make

Comments?

Richard.
