I think that Michael might have been thinking of my bug report, which you can
find at:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.xemacs.beta/17652/focus=17652
What I really want is that if I have a working XEmacs already installed under
$PREFIX, then from the top of a freshly checked out tree if I run the
following sequence:
$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
$ make
$ ./src/xemacs -vanilla
Then I should have a fully functional program, that gets packages out of
$PREFIX if it can't find them in the source tree.
I'm not particularly tied to the implementation so if there is a better way of
doing it then it's fine by me. I do, however, want to avoid any additional
manual steps.
