Also: 

man 1 aee

– describes use of another non-found binary, rxae, but I'm not complaining :-)

Assuming that there'll not be a port of the GUI in the near future, this bug can be: 

* to remove the irrelevant line from the package description. 

Plus, maybe, add a package message to explain that the GUI variants are not ported. 

Thanks

(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #0)
Thanks for the heads up, Graham!

I don't use the X version. But examined everything, and
appears that a symlink is created for at least rxae.
I'll have a *much* closer look at on Sunday. As I'll be
out all day tomorrow.

Thanks again! :-)

git diff for editors/aee

OK a complete resolution to "XAE" is going to be a 2 phase
operation. The attached git diff actually makes the XAE
option an option. However, there are problems with the
resulting binary that will take more time than I have ATM.
So I'll address them a little later in "phase 2". I've left
the option in the Makefile commented. As I intend to be able
to address the final fix soon.

Thanks again for pointing this out! :-)

Port is in 2.2.22 and already includes de XAE option.
