I will try to build 21.5.x -- having some problems though and hope
that I can resolve them by upgrading my system.
21.4.x won't build from them ports right now because it links to a
BSD-6-library…don't know how I built it before…
Just hoping that the upgrade won't take 3 days like the last time I did it.

that opens xemacs with a file called "-xim"…
