It is very easy to fetch and compile the latest version of Emacs from CVS in the home directory on any GNU/Linux machine without root privileges with just two commands: `cvs ... co emacs' and `./configure && make bootstrap'. I don't want to get the latest version of any other program to be able to build Emacs ;) -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
