The support is there, but it is not enabled *by default*. I would
like to see *all* of emacs installed into a *single* directory.

To install emacs (in /usr/local/emacs-21.3/) I (Joe Average User)
would type: configure; make ; make install

I, or the script, can make a link from /usr/local/bin/emacs to
/usr/local/emacs-21.3/bin/emacs.

To un-install emacs, I would type: rm -rf /usr/local/emacs-21.3/
To clean-up, I would type: rm /usr/local/bin/emacs
