There used to be the configure option `--with-full-gnats' but that was removed. However, gnats/Makefile.in still contains the *-gnats and *-tools targets serving exactly that purpose. They only don't seem to be propagated to the top-level Makefile. BTW, the top-level Makefile looks like a horrible mess. It's three times larger than the Emacs one and it seems to be more general than needed, I don't like it. Unless anyone objects, I'll clean it up, together with moving the documentation to a separate directory. Milan Zamazal -- Wasting somebody else's time strikes me as the height of rudeness. Bill Gates
