Re: XEmacs 21.4.23 Released

With a "--pdump" build, there is an additional file that

as "xemacs-21.4.23-54ee212e.dmp" (with a variable hash, it seems). What
is its functionality? Is it needed? The changeable name is a bit of a
headache for package management.
The .dmp file contains the preloaded Lisp as a linkable binary image.
The link-loading is not your usual OS "dlopen", it's XEmacs-specific.
On most POSIX systems and Windows, this file is included in the
"xemacs" or "xemacs.exe" binary, so the separate .dmp file is
unnecessary. This is controlled by the --with-dump-in-exec; try that
and see if the binary works.
We should also fix the configure script.
