Re: Current CVS doesn't bootstrap

>From my previous message:

   We discussed this before and
   decided to have `make bootstrap' remove the .elc files once again, but
   provide some alternate version bootstrap-build that does not do that.

   Essentially:

   Again, this was never implemented.  I am not familiar enough with the
   Makefiles to do this myself.

I forgot that you asked me before not to send you urls.  Here is the full

    Mostly agreed, with the following caveat: don't just change
    `bootstrap'.  Instead, rename the current `bootstrap' to
    `bootstrap-build' and than create a new `bootstrap' which first does
    `bootstrapclean' and then `bootstrap-build'.
