You know that configure.usage is prominently featured on http://www.xemacs.org/Install/index.html as the reference for configuration options, don't you?

My patch is band-aid, granted; but I think the chances are very small that anybody will step up to fix build in the next few weeks, i.e., build will be unusable for the mid-term to long-term future. Thus, if you cvs rm configure.usage, you should think about removing the references to build from your documentation, too. Or add a big disclaimer that it doesn't work. Anyhow, I don't care much; I just wanted to help. Next time I'll spend the evening with my wife, instead of preparing an unannounced patch. ;-)
