Frankly, I can't make head nor tails out of it. If this is supposed to differentiate just XEmacs (and it will rule out any older version of Emacs, too, as collateral), then I find it offensive that the _default_ code path is for XEmacs, and we have to make an _exception_ for Emacs. This is so backwards that I consider it repulsive. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
