Re: Yeah! Using instructions missing from the README, xemacs installed! (was Re: How can xemacs have been made so hard to install? Do the developers have any clue it is needlessly hard/undocumented?)

...
I have every reason to understand (and I agree with) your other
goals;
but what's wrong with catering to people who have enough disk space
that they'd rather waste a few dozen MB rather than tell their fingers
NOT to go "(tar xvzf ...; ./configure; make; make install)"?
First, until ETL *I* haven't had the disk space to do this.[1] Now that
I'm at ETL and have disk space, I don't have bandwidth for uploading
to the FTP site. I was told four months ago that I would be able to
carve out an area on the local FTP server for XEmacs tarballs, but it
still hasn't happened yet.

[1] Which shouldn't have stopped someone who did from doing it, but
that did not happen either.
