Let's start a flame war about (X)Emacs! ;-)

Sure.

Cool :).

Okay, what about this (I'm writing .texi the first time...):
Index: ChangeLog
from Rüdiger Kuhlmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

If a given @var{dir} is not found, no error is reported, so a
@code{configure} script can configure whichever parts of a large source

-no @code{configure}, the Cygnus @code{configure} script found by
