I'm not sure if this request should be done to this mailing list or as a PR, but here goes. I run FreeBSD as a server, not as a desktop. Some of my users want Emacs. If I pull down the prebuilt binary, it requires a zillon X11-related packages that are of no use on my system. If I go to /usr/ports/editors/emacs and build with WITHOUT_X11, I still need to install a bunch of building tools that are basically unneeded by anything other than building Emacs. It would be nice if the prebuilt binaries had an emacs-nox11. --Paul Hoffman
