you can build the manuals.
If you want to install Emacs, type 'make install' instead of 'make' in
the last command.
-After your first build, you can usually just run 'make' after any
-updates from the Savannah repository or local edits; the makefile
-contains logic to re-run configure as needed. However, if the autoconf
-input files have changed, or in some other situations, you will need
