When I tried to build emacs with X11 menu support, the compilation of xmenu.c failed, unable to find /usr/include/X11/XMenu.h. The X11 version 3 release notes mention that the XMenu library has been removed and that applications that need menus should use a toolkit instead. Is there a newer (than 18.52) emacs that does this?

Emacs hasn't been updated yet to use any of the newer toolkit menu packages. You can get the X.V11R2 port of the old X10 XMenu library from giza.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/X.V11R3/contrib/oldXMenu.tar.Z. It's not the One True Way, but it will at least keep your menu-happy users more content until the toolkit menus are hooked in.

I don't plan to make Emacs use a toolkit. I fear this would be a disastrous increase in the size of Emacs. I'll probably add the old XMenu.c to the Emacs distribution.

That code is going away partly because its bad! Stealing the menu code from xterm would be a much better solution...
