It's something I put in to get the bbdb package to build.
Taking it out yields the following:
$ make XEMACS=/usr/local/work/XEmacs/xemacs-21.0/src/xemacs
/usr/local/work/XEmacs/xemacs-21.0/src/xemacs -no-autoloads -batch -l
../../package-compile.el -- bbdb edit-utils gnus mh-e rmail supercite vm mail-lib
xemacs-base -- lisp/bbdb-rmail.el
....
Compiling /usr/local/work/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/comm/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-rmail.el...
While compiling toplevel forms in file
/usr/local/work/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/comm/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-rmail.el:
!! File error (("Cannot open load file" "tm-view"))
Done
rmail requires tm-view, not bbdb. Thanks for removing the REQUIRES.
By the way, bbdb doesn't really need any of the mail/news packages.
Building it from scratch, you can choose what to compile it for.
Maybe I'll pull down the package-building stuff to see what's there.
