Given the time it takes XEmacs to compile now, a few more minutes
hardly matters.  It already takes at least five times longer ot
build XEmacs than to build the BSDI system kernel from scratch.

The puresize.h rejigger only has to happen if the pure arrary is
overflowed or if too much space is wasted.  temacs already knows
this information; it just needs to pass it back to the build
proceudre in some way.
