* Optional libraries
====================
-1. You really want the XPM library. Grab the latest version of the
- xpm sources (xpm-3.4k.tar.gz at time of writing) from
- ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux/ and unpack them somewhere.
- Copy nt\xpm.mak from the xemacs sources to the lib subdirectory of the
- xpm sources, cd to that directory and build xpm with 'nmake -f xpm.mak'.

- ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux/, unpack them somewhere and read

INSTALL_DIR="x:\your\installation\directory"
(By default, XEmacs will be installed in directories under the directory
