Subject: grep-changelog in the emacs distro
Date: Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:36:02 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86d3b0l2x9.fsf@red.stonehenge.com> (raw)
'grep-changelog' is apparently the *only* thing in the current emacs HEAD
that requires Perl.
Would it be possible to put its build and install behind a configure
switch so that a variant of Emacs might be built and packaged that does
*not* require Perl?
(Yes, this is an odd thing for me to ask, but a co-worker is asking...,
and as the Perl expert, I'd like to know.)
