Someone please try the emacs as init with this release.

I tried to compile emacs statically but under archlinux I need to build ncurses (and probably others) statically too. Which is too much of a black art to me. Gonna try on debian since I believe they include static binairies in packages.

Someone's already tried this.

I know, this dates back from emacs 21.3. I wanted to know if someone had the time and skills to replicate the experiment with 24.4

It's very interesting. It seems a neat solution. Anyone go further? Really work on it?
