It doesn't matter how small it is. What matters is that it doesn't
come with the basic DJGPP installation, and it is absent from stock
DOS/Windows systems.
Emacs is one of the few GNU packages that are considered ``basic'',
i.e. ones you could build and install if you were bootstrapping the
entire DJGPP system. After you have the compiler, Binutils, and
djdevXXX.zip, you are supposed to build Make first and Emacs next.
That is why both Make and Emacs do not use configure scripts to
configure themselves and don't require additional tools to build,
except what's absolutely necessary. Gzip is out.
