- 3. If you like, you can edit the base-features.lisp-expr file
- to customize the resulting Lisp system. By enabling or disabling
- features in this file, you can create a smaller system, or one
- with extra code for debugging output or error-checking or other things.
+ 3. If you like, you can tweak the *FEATURES* set for the resulting
+ Lisp system, enabling or disabling features like documentation
+ strings or extra debugging code. The preferred way to do this is
+ by creating a file "customize-target-features.lisp", containing
+ a lambda expression which is applied to the default *FEATURES*
+ set and which returns the new *FEATURES* set, e.g.
+ (LAMBDA (LIST)
+ (ADJOIN :SB-SHOW
+ (REMOVE :SB-DOC
+ LIST)))
+ (This is the preferred way because it lets local changes interact
+ cleanly with CVS changes to the main, global source tree.)
