+--with-x - Use the X11 GUI instead of the Carbon GUI.
--prefix=DIR - Place the common emacs files in the given DIR. The
default is /usr/local. See note below if placing
in /usr
--self-contained - Place the common emacs files inside the Emacs.app
itself. This makes the application trivial to
uninstall and copy between computers.

option may removed in the future.

In either case, you will need MPW-GM to build the make-docfile utility
and to generate the doc string file DOC.
