This is an excellent question. I has been a while since I did
configured my Alpha box, so I'm not 100% sure I rememeber everything on
there. I do remember checking out the open source software distribution
that was put out with the V5.1B release, so I'm not quite sure how much
I had to install to get emacs to compile. I'll look into it and get
back to you.
