It is really software that should be in the main lisp directory and tarball but isn't because we want non-Mule user to spare download time and disk space. However Mule doesn't _need) the _compiled_ package, it just needs the files around. Maybe the Makefiles need to be tweaked to allow a Mule XEmacs to build with just the uncompiled Mule elcs around. I guess the only thing needed for that is a target in the mule-base package Makefile to allow a "package build" that does but produce elcs. The result should be sufficient to bootstrap a Mule XEmacs. Alternatively it should be possible to build the packages using temacs. Jan
