"non-Posix" platforms supported by Emacs == Windows? I have locally implemented your 'echo' idea. I haven't installed it because it might break the Windows build, if it can't handle the long command line. (What is the length limit?) It might also break some non-Windows builds, since the `echolisp' output includes the expanded version of $lispsource. Therefore it is much longer than the output of the current sed command (which was even shorter than $shortlisp, since it omitted the "../lisp" part). ($shortlisp and $SOME_MACHINE_LISP are not acceptable replacements in this case, since they lose the platform-specific information. I wish someone had written down exactly which systems needed shortlisp, because I have no idea if they remain revelant.) Anyway, what was the solution that you had in mind for this?
