i think this is the right thing -- xemacs should be able to compile
without packages and have the packages added later. compiling without
packages ensures that nothing specific to the compiler's package
environment gets stuck somewhere in the compiled xemacs, thence to cause
problems with different packages.
my only concern is people adding other stuff to dump, which is dependent
on packages. is this a real concern that i should worry about?
I used to dump extra packages at compile time until I got a faster
computer. Now I no longer bother, as the gain is not worth the
hassle.
