Something to improve and explain the configure options specific to a great 
experience on the platform. I use the following by ritural trial and error and 
don’t know why. I couldn’t put the sicp.info file in /usr/share/info despite 
su-ing and don’t know why.

    CC=clang ./configure \
        --disable-acl \
        --prefix="$HOME/2018/Applications" \
        --with-xpm \
        --with-jpeg \

Detailing where and why Mac port does better than the GNU Emacs sets a target 
to better.
