Summary: compile-time options

Rather than all argue about what options we find useful and which ones
we don't, how about making all of these options, well, optional?  This is
how we handled the extras in MicroGnuEmacs.  In the machine-specific
include file, there are about a half dozen things that you can #define
or not, that control whether or not certain features are compiled in.  The
rather huge mouse support package for the Amiga version was made optional
in this way, for example, since there is a significant population of users
who would never use it and who would prefer an editor that doesn't chew up
quite so much memory.
