(Off-topic alert.) I'm also interested in this. Obviously, the Emacs development model has worked quite well for a long time. But I don't know why is it the way it is.

I don't care whether it's in gnus.texi or gnus-devel.texi or in the INSTALL or README file. kai -- The arms should be held in a natural and unaffected way and never be conspicuous. -- Revised Technique of Latin American Dancing
