Currently working on this. Here are some additional comments:


- In m17n-db, in README, it talks about ./get-glibc.sh, and separately 
about ./bootstrap.sh and .configure. But when I run ./get-glibc.sh, I 
get told that I can now run make (and it looks as if ./configure is 
already done). So, both for the case of downloading from CVS and 
otherwise, what is the relationship between ./get-glibc.sh and 
./bootstrap.sh and ./configure?


- In m17n-lib, in README, it says "Ubunto" when it probably should say 
"Ubuntu".


- In m17n-lib, in README, many additional libraries are required 
(libxml2, fribidi, freetype,...). It would be good if these were 
mentioned directly in the INSTALL file of Emacs, to get the full picture.


- In m17n-lib, for ./configure, I get the following error:
./configure: line 19740: syntax error near unexpected token `ANTHY,'
./configure: line 19740: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(ANTHY, anthy, 
HAVE_ANTHY=yes, HAVE_ANTHY=no)'
This is independent of whether I have installed anthy or not (first I 
hadn't installed it, then I installed it because I thought the error 
would go away, but it didn't work).

What works (at least to the extent that it doesn't produce error 
messages) is to comment out that line. In addition, one has to comment 
out all other lines that call PKG_CHECK_MODULES. I'm attaching a diff of 
my changes as configure.diff. Of course this is no real solution. It 
would be great if there were a better solution.


- When doing 'make' for m17n-lib, I get the following kind of warnings:
*** Warning: This system can not link to static lib archive 
/usr/local/lib/libotf.la.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.

The exact same warning for: libm17n-core, libm17n, libm17n-flt. Later 
there are some more warnings that are a bit more extensive, and then 
also some error messages about undefined references.

I'm not sure why e.g. for libotf, only a static library is being built 
when a dynamic one is needed. Any help is appreciated.
