Re: Emacs in CVS as today does not build - emacs depends on *.elc, which cannot be built without emacs

[Richard Stallman]

I don't think that autogen.sh should do the configure and make
bootstrap.  I think it should create a file `must-bootstrap'.  Then
the next `make all' run should notice the existence of must-bootstrap,
and do a bootstrap automatically.  That way the usual sequence of
commands

       $ ./autogen.sh        <=== this is the extra step
       $ ./configure
       $ ./make
       $ ./make install

will work as expected.
