I do not remember if it was gettext or libiconv but I know that there was a port
where I had explicitly to install emacs to get through the configuration process
and to get a full featured port.  Without emacs imstalled, certain features were
not build.  May be perl was another candidate that checked for emacs but I do not
remember.  Anyway, whenever the configuration process stopt or complained about
missing emacs, I have installed it.  Thus I have downloaded it every time that a
new port had been made available.  For porting purposes, it continues to be of use
to me; although I certainly do not use it as editor any more as I used it the 90.
