I am missing a way to be able to use `runemacs.exe' without installing. Right now, when running it from the build directory `nt/oo-spd/i386', it can't find `emacs.exe'. Can we either let `runemacs.exe' check not only its current directory, but also the `src' build directory for an `emacs.exe' or add a command line option for `runemacs.exe' to provide a path to `emacs.exe' ? Which option would be preferable? Or is there another way? Christoph
