Re: binary kit and packaging

Well, as I said the most benefit I see in being able to remove the files I installed once. (BTW, I think the perception of having XEmacs in the platform specific package format is definitely higher.) So at least we could start to think about an uninstall script to include into the distribution. BTW, why do we do a binary kits for Win9x/NT using InstallShield then? I guess because of perception!
