Not you too! Why do you care?
Please, just do your users a favor. Don't try to be first, try to be
*good*, OK? This stuff is not easy, and tends to bitrot *really* fast
because the communications protocol depends on both sides. That's why
XEmacs doesn't have a practical application (publicly available) IMO.
Don't make the mistake of putting something hackish in, and putting
off the developers who'd like to use it.
