Let's make us Windows NT guys suffer, we're used to it :-)
As Local.Rules needs to be modified before building anyway, I think
having to set this manually is acceptable.
Gunnar, can you please give me execution-time numbers for a
top-level
make clean
with and without following patch?
If you really want to, I'll try to get them, but will have to use a
different machine & xemacs this time.
How have you determined that my change is actually responsible for
the
slowness?
I first ran the unmodified version and saw that it was really slow and
spawning lots of xemacs processes. I interrupted this after about 30
minutes and set the variable manually. Then it ran *much* faster.
Of course this depends on what kind of xemacs you use (mine was mule
pdump debug and no optimisation; which is kinda slow to start up).
