USE_GCC2 or USE_GCC3 where appropriate.
the functionality of the old gcc.buildlink2.mk has been rolled into
compiler.mk now, which is automatically used.
more changes to come later...
now and not NetBSD-*-arm32. Changes include one or more of:
- Change MACHINE_ARCH == arm32 to also match arm
- Where ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM includes NetBSD-*-arm32, add NetBSD-*-arm
- Where BROKEN or worked around for arm gcc bugs, set USE_GCC3
The last may shake out a few more broken packages the next bulk build.

Major change:
The long standing TTY/keyboard bug, the one where RET was behaving
like LFD, is gone! Yes, that's right folks, you can once again use
XEmacs on a TTY.
The rest are the hundreds of bugfixes that usually come with a
beta software.
This release fixes the problem with scrambled screens when using
xemacs in a terminal. Other changes are numerous as its a -current.
Mainly bug fixes.

---
Lots of updates from Ben Wing (as always), also from Andy Piper, Mike
Sperber, and Stephen Turnbull with lots of documentation updates and
fixes. One new exciting addition in this release is that the LDAP and
PostgreSQL code has been extracted out of the core C code and moved to
DSO's. We have Jerry James to thank/blame/worship for that.

Changes since 21.5.5 are too many to list here. Please consult www.xemacs.org
for details. There have been mainly hundreds of bug fixes and work has been
done on a new garbage collector which isn't enabled yet. Nothing exitingly
new has been added as far as i know. Mainly internal rework.
This is the *BETA* developement line of XEmacs so handle with care.
This package is based on pkg/14132 contributed by Eric Gillespie Jr.
Most notable change to the release is the possibility to compile
xemacs with gtk+. Set XEMACS_WIDGETS accordingly in your mk.conf
Possible values are:
lucid (default)
gtk
gnome
motif
