You'd have to try it. Steve Y is the main resource here, as Steve
Baur seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. :-( Jan
"%%% Just Married %%%" Vroonhof <jan(a)xemacs.org> did some makefile
manipulations, but I think those were pure optimizations. I don't know
how much he knows about the dependency system. You could ask him,
although he seems extremely busy these days.
I'll let you know if and when I find Steve B.
