If this is a reference to running 'cvs update -kb' in the nt directory, note 
that I found that I also had to run it in at least the leim\CXTERM-dic and 
lisp\international dictionaries.  Emacs then linked, and the makefile 
appeared to complete, but Emacs wouldn't start up.  I then downloaded the 
whole again using the command 
'cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/emacs co -kb -r 
emacs-unicode-2 emacs'.  (Note the '-kb'.)  I then made it cleanly (apart 
from numerous warnings during byte-compilation and messages saying that 
files could not be deleted), but again it would not run.  The only clue I 
have as to why is that when I run emacs.exe from the cmd.exe command line I 
get the message, ' Wrong type argument: stringp, nil'.  Could it be failing 
because I build it with none of the graphics options xpm, png, jpeg, tiff 
and gif?  (I didn't need them to rebuild a usable Emacs 22.1 from the source 
distribution.)

Incidentally, while lisp/version.el identifes the current version of 
emacs-unicode-2 as 23.0.60, nt/emacs.rc identifies it as 23.0.50.0, and this 
is the number stamped into the Windows executables I managed to generate.
