Sure. It's wonderful, and AFAICS will never be in Emacs because its principal author is an assignment refusenik for philosophical reasons. To get this (and a few other goodies not in Emacs) for Emacs, I would say the best thing would be to contribute an ELPA interface to our package system so that people can use it as an (unofficial third- party) ELPA repository. I'd be happy to do the XEmacs repo admin side of things (since I'm one of a very few with the necessary access), but don't have time to figure out XEmacs pkg -> ELPA conversions for a while. OTOH, AFAIK kyle@wonderworks.com will still reach him, and you can ask.
