I could download it with cvs without registering. It is much smaller...

It never crossed my mind, and chances are that it never will. I always 
wondered the real utility of those extra files. It may be the case that 
emacs is a lisp interpreter and those are just demos? I would rather 
choose to have those "extras" than being forced to like them... I would 
be much happier if emacs would have a better menu (File, Edit, etc.) 
along the lines of ... any other application.
