Don't get me wrong - I have no problem building with the command line I
cited - still better than the one I had to use to build vim ;-) The
number of people currently using Emacs on QNX can probably be counted
on two digits (as in fingers), so there is really no reason to go out
of your way to support it. The only thing I can suggest is to not
require both LIBXML2_LIBS and LIBXML2_CFLAGS to be specified.
