As far as I know (I don't hack on X, I just read the mailing list), the entire build infrastructure was replaced, and you can now do "./configure ...; make" etc., and things work in the normal GNU style. We are miscommunicating. As regards X itself, I took for granted that that is what you meant. My question concerns looking beyond X to the free software community as a whole. Has there been a broader move towords supporting the GNU configure and build specs?
I can't help but thinking about the problems with building Emacs itself on w32. Is not one of the problems there the lack of a sh/bash or whatever that can easily be used when building Emacs?
Something like a portable mini-bash (with more limited capabilities) that runs also on w32 and could be used together with w32 programs would perhaps make this better.
