Sorry for digging out this thread, but I finally giving a try to build
emacs my self using the source code from CVS.

And one thing interesting is the size of the binary:

   emacs 22.2  with X support:  ~  8.0Mo
   emacs 23 without X support:  ~ 14.5Mo

It's a huge difference, so now I'm wondering if I correctly built the
beast...

Any Idea ?

Thanks
