  configure --help

I'm currently compiling 20.2 (which is released) with XIM and wnn enabled.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

It should compile ok. AFAIK, --with-wnn just links in libwnn and
defines some new lisp functions.  --with-xim should be completely
independent.

I got kinput2 compiled (although I'm using it with wnn, and it isn't
very comfortable in conjunction with wnn - I much prefer egg-wnn.el)
and tried it out with kterm.  It works on Linux (I'm having problems
on my Ultrasparc at work - kterm segfaults in OpenIM()).
