I picked up the tarfile from prep.ai.mit.edu and couldn't get it
to compile.  So does someone have a full system "ready to go" for
the Sparcstation 1 running XWindows.

More generally, I think the philosophy of the FSF is most
commendable, but the difficulties involved in getting a given
package to run on a given machine are pretty formidable,
especially to the non-hacker.  It probably makes a lot more sense
to have a ftp-site where executables are stored for each machine
supported, and "setup" information like directories etc. is taken
from environmental variables.  Face it: 99% of the machines in
the world come from five vendors.  Support the Sparcstation, the
DEC MIPS box, the NeXT and the IBM R/6000 and you've got a huge 
fraction of the workstations out there.  So the sheer number of 
executables which need to maintained need not be too large.
