        This is imperfect. The error shouldn't be continuable[1] and some
trickery is needed in dgnushack in order to avoid barfing the compilation
process because the etc/ dir has not yet been installed. Don't worry, I have a
fix for that (see my next message called "Some fixes for XEmacs").


Footnotes: 
[1]  Actually, Gnus could work more or less without the glyph directory, but
that would require protecting each use of gnus-xmas-glyph-directory. This is
not worth the burden, since the etc dir is part of the distribution, and
should be installed by `make install'.
