For as long as I've been following this group, troubles installing
GNU EMACS have been a recurring problem.  So many people have had problems
with this (including myself) that availability of the executables would
save a significant amount of person-months throughout Netland.  

Any volunteers?  (My own installation doesn't work right...)  Could SGI 
do this without running afoul of GNU's copyright / license policy?
