Failure to build mew

If I cd to vin> comm and run 'make', here is what happens: [...] vin> poe.el seems to be in apel, which I do not install. rm -rf comm/mew seems in order then, since you can't build it anyway. If bbdb won't build without mew, something's seriously wrong. The current generation of package systems (which are starting to creak like a Communist gerontocracy under the weight of rapid growth) do not respond at all gracefully to missing dependencies. XEmacs is no exception.
