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.
