[w3 - url] OT but what is URL

[w3 - url] OT but what is URL

[Harry Putnam]

Having just accessed the CVS repository for w3 I also got url but I
don't know what it is.  

The texi directory and txi file are somewhat ..... incomplete.

Where can I learn about this tool.

URL is, as the name suggests, a library for dealing with URLs.

Specifically, it's the URL layer that was part of W3 split out and made
to stand on it's own.

Speaking of the url package, the make process doesn't quite work with
the CVS versions of w3 and url installed.  This is what happens:

cd lisp && make EMACS="emacs"
lispdir="/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp" all
make[1]: Entering directory `/user1/palmieri/emacs/pgnus-cvs/lisp'
rm -f *.elc
W3DIR=/user1/palmieri/emacs/w3-cvs/lisp
lispdir=/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp srcdir=. emacs -batch -q
-no-site-file -l ./dgnushack.el -f dgnushack-compile
No w3: (file-error Cannot open load file mule-sysdp)
/user1/palmieri/emacs/w3-cvs/lisp/w3-forms.elc


I don't know how serious this error is, because the compilation
process continues from here.  I know the reason for the error:
mule-sysdp is in url/lisp, not w3/lisp, in the cvs versions, and
configure doesn't have a '--with-url' option so I can specify the
appropriate directory.  Someone who knows something about configure
scripts (i.e., not me) want to fix this?

Still doesn't work for me.

        Entered w3/w3  cvs update

        Entered w3/url cvs update

Then in w3/w3

        ./configure --with-url=/usr/local/w3/url

Should be
         ./configure --with-url=/usr/local/w3/url/lisp

Gack!  And so it is.    Working now

Does it require any differnt code in emacs?  My old code looks like:
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/usr/local/w3/w3/texi")
(add-to-list 'load-path  "/usr/local/w3/w3/lisp") 

Do I need a pointer to url lisp files too?
