I can do that. But before doing the actual work some questions. User used
the following command:
./configure --program-prefix=GNU --program-suffix=21
--program-transform-name='s/mac/cam/'
We link emacs to emacs-${version}. What will end in ${prefix}/bin?
GNUecams21 linked to GNUecams21-${version}? GNUecams21 linked to
emacs-${version}? What about other programs like ctags and etags? Should
I apply --program-{prefix,suffix,transform-name} to them? Should I apply
these rules to lib-src/* utilities?
My proposal: GNUecams21 linked to emacs-${version} (to
prevent --program-transform-name='s#\(\)#x\1#' ;-), to apply
transform-rules to all files from bin/, to not apply them to lib/... (I see
possible problems when these programs are called from emacs itself).
