Actually, I added that RPi reference at the end of the post rickman
mentioned because I really had checked out the microemacs build directory
on my RPi from the CVS repository on my Fedora-based home server, changed
reference point to its build directory, run "make" and a few seconds
later had the microemacs running on the RPi exactly the same as it does
on my other host machines.
