I've dropped this copy-function, whose intention was a
side-effect, not needed as it turns out.

Spanish minor-mode works here as shown below. Should it not
work with XEmacs now, please send a notice.

To install further language-tables it might be
necessary to edit `.abbrev_defs' by hand inserting
something like

(define-abbrev-table 'MY-minor-mode-abbrev-table '(
     ))

Thats all AFAIS

(define-minor-mode spanish-minor-mode

  nil nil nil
  (set (make-local-variable 'spanish-minor-mode) t)
  (unless (memq 'spanish-minor-mode-abbrev-table abbrev-table-name-list)
