MicroGnuEmacs (mg) avoids this problem by putting all system dependent stuff in system-specific subdirectories. You just copy or link the apropriate makefile and run it. Mg 1b is available for ftp from jade.berkeley.edu in pub/mg/mg1b.tar.Z (compressed tar). Mg 2a is currently in beta testing, it should be posted to comp.sources.misc sometime in the first half of next year. Daniel Laurence's microemacs and mg have different goals and are improving in diffent directions. Daniel is adding lots of new bells, whistles, and gongs without making sure they work any machines he doen't happen to have access to. Mg is a group effort, and we go through extensive beta testing to make sure it works on a wide variety of machines and terminals before we release it. (Msdos was not included because none of the peolpe working on mg wanted it, we recieved mods for 1a after 1b was released, and for 1b when 2a was starting beta testing. It looks like Msdos support will be in 2a.)
