Really? hmm... here are the stripped binaries on the computer I use for
most programming development.. both of them use ELF shared libs, and the
XEmacs binary uses Motif:
-rwxr-xr-t 2 root bin 2631752 May 31 1996 emacs
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 3094416 Jun 26 13:14 xemacs-19.13
That's the reason I use XEmacs over plain Emacs -- the size differential
doesn't seem terribly large to me, and I get all those "graphical bells
and whistles."
