>Description:

If you set USE_XEMACS = yes to build elisp based packages against
XEmacs instead of GNU Emacs, the following packages hang during the
build after invoking XEmacs to compile elisp sources:

# textproc/xslide
# inputmethod/tc
# devel/emacs-ilisp
# inputmethod/iiimecf
# devel/semi

This is pretty annoying during a bulk build since it requires manual
intervention (killing XEmacs processes and the shell scripts that
invoke them, sometimes even a reboot).

>How-To-Repeat:

Run a bulk build with "USE_XEMACS = yes" in /etc/mk.conf.


>Fix:
	Either 

- fix the packages in question to build with XEmacs
- do not build them when USE_XEMACS is set
- unconditionally build them against GNU Emacs

USE_XEMACS has been deprecated in February 2004, so this PR looks a little
bogus to me. If there are still problems, please raise your voice.

 Ah well. Replace with

 EMACS_TYPE=xemacs214

 (or whatever it is called this month), bulk build, and experience the 
 same problems.

 But that's a general XEmacs package maintenance problem more than one 
 of the individual packages, I suspect. And since XEmacs as well as 
 its pkg are in a sorry state of maintenance these days (like, e.g., 
 auctex, which is officially supported on XEmacs, not building against 
 it in pkgsrc), I probably won't bother to pick the issue up again.
