So you're saying that even though it's compiled with X libraries,
it will start up *without* the libraries on the system as long as
you do terminal-only mode? Wow.
I'm pretty sure that is up to the linker/loader rather than the
program itself (in this case, XEmacs). I guess stuff is demand
loaded, so that if you avoid referencing certain libraries, the
loader doesn't even go looking for them. I'm not very experienced
with darwin's link/load behavior but this is certainly very cool!
