BASIC INSTALLATION
To get more attractive menus, you can specify an X toolkit when you
configure Emacs; use the option `--with-x-toolkit=TOOLKIT', where
TOOLKIT is `gtk' (the default), `athena', or `motif' (`yes' and
-`lucid' are synonyms for `athena'). On some systems, it does not work
-to use a toolkit with shared libraries. A free implementation of
-Motif, called LessTif, is available from <http://www.lesstif.org>.
-Compiling with LessTif or Motif causes a standard File Selection
-Dialog to pop up when you invoke file commands with the mouse. You
-can get fancy 3D-style scroll bars, even without Gtk or LessTif/Motif,
-if you have the Xaw3d library installed (see "Image support libraries"
-above for Xaw3d availability).

You can tell configure where to search for GTK by specifying
`--with-pkg-config-prog=PATH' where PATH is the pathname to
--without-gif for GIF image support
--without-png for PNG image support
-Use --without-toolkit-scroll-bars to disable LessTif/Motif or Xaw3d
-scroll bars.
+Use --without-toolkit-scroll-bars to disable Motif or Xaw3d scroll bars.
Use --without-xim to inhibit the default use of X Input Methods.
In this case, the X resource useXIM can be used to turn on use of XIM.

- The programs `etags', `ctags', and `emacsclient' are intended to be
run by users; they are handled below.

2) Copy the files in `./info' to the place specified in
