Yeah, I pointed this out in a message a few days ago. Perhaps it'd be
useful to define the feature 'emacs, but even so it won't be a
reliable way to detect GNU Emacs for years and years...

I think the handling in byteopt.el is about generating bytecode (or
not doing it, for XEmacs-specific code) while the one in bytecomp.el
is about not issuing warnings for XEmacs features. For example, it
silences a warning in flymake.el about the use of
`multiple-value-bind'.
