I've added a stanza for esound, since I've just rewritten the configure support for it. Previous updates to this file added makepatch and a bunch of other cleanups. I would be really happy if someone could htmlize README.aux and put it up on www.xemacs.org. Martin -------------- README.aux follows --------------------------------- This directory contains programs that are not included in the XEmacs distribution, but which are either used by various packages that are in the distribution or are enhancements which can be compiled into XEmacs. Where available, ftp sites, web home pages, and configure flags (although you should never have to specify library configure flags since they are autodetected) are indicated below. This list was accurate as of 1999-11-11. Databases: ---------- There are four DBM implementations supported by XEmacs: native dbm (provided by OS), GDBM, Berkeley DB version 1, Berkeley DB version 2.
