On some (64-bit) systems, sizeof(int) != sizeof(long), and this can
cause crashes because in-use lisp objects can get prematurely gc'd (and
0xdeadbeef'd). This occurs because the memory_description for the
Gap_Array structure incorrectly describes some members as XD_INT's
(32-bit objects), when they should actually be XD_ELEMCOUNT's and
XD_BYTECOUNT's (both 64-bit objects), as that is how they are declared
in the structure.

This directory contains the source for the setup program for the XEmacs net releases. For commentary on how to do a release please see `package-net.el' This code has been adapted from the cygwin net release installer. In particular note that the cygwin net release installer is actively maintained and therefore we will want to incorporate improvements from that. I have therefore tried to use the cygwin way wherever possible. I have however cleaned up the code somewhat so that there are not billions of warnings. This program should get built as part of the standard XEmacs make. Note however that if you use trhe cygwin build you will need a NON CYGWIN VERSION OF ZLIB.
