I need something that just displays a little report. It could show the
presence of features (image formats), and things like font rendering
engine, whether native-comp is active (for when this hits masters).
Also be nice to know if Emacs things it is a snapshot, or release,
whether the binary is stripped or not, what optimization levels have
been used.
All of these things have been a problem at one time or another or
might be in future, and the build for release happens rarely enough,
with small changes from one release to the next (for example, this
time you updated the version number before I did the build which broke
my scripts assumptions just a little), that I have to do small tweaks
my hand. Then I have no ability to check I have not screwed up.
As you say, mostly useful for w32, as it's the only binary Gnu
provides. Might be useful for other people doing binaries packages for
other OS maybe.
I will try and write something.
