make failed on FreeBSD 3.4R

Hi, I tried to compile guile-emacs-0.4 on FreeBSD 3.4R but
it failed.  I attached a quick patch for fixing the problem.

Oops...

Hmm...  Could you try this instead?

  $EMACS -q --no-site-file -batch -l .tmp.el 2> .tmp.out

This looks better.  But still it has a problem.  You can't install
emacs in /d0/share/emacs/20.6/..., for example.  How about this one?

  emacsver=`sed 's/^.*\/\([[0-9]][[0-9\.]]*\)\/.*/\1/' .tmp.out`

Sorry for late reply.

It worked well. For confirmation, I commented out the
following line in configure.in

  rm -f .tmp.el .tmp.out

and checked the contents of .tmp.out after running
configure. It contains:

  /usr/local/share/emacs/20.6/etc/

Great. I prefer to use ! as a delimiter for clarity.

  emacsver=`sed 's!^.*/\([[0-9]][[0-9\.]]*\)/.*!\1!' .tmp.out`
