I thought about adding such features a long time ago, but I came to the
conclusion that they wouldn't serve any important purpose, while
increasing the complexity of the build system. The build itself does not
require emacs or X11. It will use Tcl, but only if it is available. The
only real effect of the --disable-X11 and --disable-emacs switches would
be to avoid installing a few files which constitute a small fraction of
the total installed size. I did separate Xmaxima for the RPM package,
but I did so outside of the "make install" framework.
Feel free to try to convince me that there is a need for
--disable-x11/--disable-emacs.
