Hi,

My question is related with the use of a patch for a release, that is
used to `upgrade' to a new beta release.

From the BETA file, I see that the patch is applied to the
`unmodified' sources. (and then run make.. )

I patched the releases, but after `configure' has run.

Is it possible to patch the sources  and then run configure? (I guess
that yes)

Thanks,

The scenario I use is to install the beta releases in different directories, 
in this way, I can work with two different versions of XEmacs
(eg. a stable beta release and a brand-new beta release that is being checked)
For example:

   - prefix = /u/ricky/xemacs-20.X-bY  (X=Minor-Version, Y=Beta)
   - bindir = $prefix/bin/sparc-sunos4.1.4

The configure line I have is something like:
     configure  --extra-verbose --with-gnu-make
                --site-libraries=/usr/local/lib
                --prefix=/u/ricky/xemacs-20.3-b13
                --bindir=/u/ricky/xemacs-20.3-b13/bin/sparc-sunos4.1.4
                --with-database=dbm --cflags=-O2
                --with-sound=both --dynamic
                sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4 --debug

   Take notice on the prefix and bindir.
