No hidden agenda, just curious, as I said. I wondered why my GNU/Linux
emacs needed eg ns-win.elc pre-compiled (because of DOC), and how it
managed to work at all when eg common-win.elc was missing from $lisp
(because $SOME_MACHINE_LISP saved us). Then I wondered what was going
on with the dependencies in general. Thanks for explaining.
