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."
