This archive I just mentioned is, in fact, maintained by Charles
Hannum. (Just the NetBSD stuff). If you need to upgrade to emacs
19.19, I suggest that you might want to start here, *IF* you are
running NetBSD.
Also, I believe the same files are available at
sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu

If you do not already have emacs 19.17, you will give yourself extra
hassle by getting the regular distribution plus the patch, for the
obvious reason.
I brought up emacs with almost non-existant fuss by getting this
tailored package.
My experience was like this:
get the file on the computer.
gunzip and untar it.
cd into it.
configure
make
make install
(complain cause I don't have makeinfo... sidestep the problem for
now)
acquire texinfo dist., install (with greater ease, since I went for
binaries on this out of impatience)
cd to emacs/src
make install
That's it. I use it daily to do everything from programming to a few
games of gomoku, (which I ripped the snotty comments out of. Mighty
annoying to someone trying to learn a game to have the computer be a
bad winner *and* a bad loser), not too mention the requisite visit to
the doctor...
