This may have advantages. It also has disadvantages. It is much more difficult to set up than Emacs's simplicity. For example, during installation, the user must edit the make file to say where the packages are going to live. For developers, the source and installed versions of the packages are rigidly separated, making testing more awkward. > Christopher -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
