In the minor department, I see that you've worked around the .orig
patch problem in src/library/base/Makefile. I know that I (and Martin)
suggested that particular way of doing it, i.e.

        @cat `ls funs/[a-z]* | sed '/CVS/d; /~$$/d; /\.orig$$/d; /\.bak$$/d'` \
         | sed '/^[     ]*$$/d'  > ../../../library/base
#                  ^^ = TAB + Space

-- but on 2nd thought, wouldn't it be more logical simply to change
the source file names to have suffix .R and use

	@cat *.R | sed ...

The current way has all sorts of gotchas built in. What if Netscape
dumps core when started in src/library/base/funs, e.g.
