I don't think it makes sense to force the presence of a package that is only used in certain circumstances. On the other hand, it *should* be noted somewhere conveniently that you need netpbm to use w3 under xemacs. Ideally, this would be w3-mode itself if it can't find the necessary filters. What about putting a notice into DESCR about w3-mode needing netpbm? Michael -- Michael Elbel, PCS GmbH, Muenchen, Germany - me@FreeBSD.org Fermentation fault (coors dumped)
