They shouldn't +be considered part of the bbdb as-is, nor should you complain to me about +their failure to work. + +Look at it if you find something useful. If there is enough demand for some of the +files i can install them with bbdb. Just ask me. :) + + -- Barak A.

The debian packaging process leaves +this to install time, so at build time we do not actually need an +emacs. But the configure script looks for one anyway, in order to +produce a proper lisp/Makefile, whose execution is however deferred +until installation time. Tweaking things to cause configuration to +not bail when no emacs is present is more trouble than just requiring +one at build time. So that's what we do. + + -- Barak A.
