I have a question.

Do you plan to make the binary kits for all linux platforms or just
those with internet access?

I have had problems running (not compling) xemacs on a standalone
linux machine. However this problem can be overcome by #undef-ing
HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h. Instead I have HAVE_SYSVIPC set instead. I
havn't really looked into this to see if this is a good idea or not.

The best way to get by the HAVE_SOCKETS problem on a linux machine is
probably to set ethernet as a loopback. But if you consider the fact
that most linux distributions do not do this for you, it may be better
to either have two binary distributions or change the function
get_internet_address in process.c (which is what gives you trouble on
a standalone machine).

As I undefined HAVE_SOCKETS and recompiled I do not know how many
other changes are required.
