 Source packages are available from the @file{packages/source-packages}
 subdirectory of your favorite XEmacs distribution site.  Alternatively,
 they are available via CVS from @file{cvs.xemacs.org}.  Look at
 @item dist
 Runs the rules @code{srckit} followed by @code{binkit}.  This is
 primarily of use by XEmacs maintainers producing files for distribution.

+This section is surely out-of-date.  If you're sure that XEmacs is
+able to do something, but your installed XEmacs won't do it for you,
+it's probably in a package.  If you can't find it in this section,
+that's a bug---please report it.  It is very hard to keep this section
+up-to-date; your reports, comments, and questions will help a lot.
+This data is up-to-date as of 10 February 1999.  (Ouch!  I told you!)
