As a mere user who builds his own copy of xemacs, I don't want to have 
to learn another build system and download yet another set of packages 
(that I would have to build myself[1]) just so I can build xemacs.

But if a new build system really helps the main developers, then go 
ahead.  I'll either bite the bullet, or just start using precompiled 
binaries.

getting the IT guys to do it takes forever, and then it ends up being 
available on only one machine, which is almost never what I want.
