Which would effectively kill XEmacs support forever.  If we were to fork, I
suspect that fork would die a quick death.  Better to keep one version even if
XEmacs support is temporarily broken.  If we don't have enough XEmacs testers
or contributors to ensure it works before a release, we'll just to have to
make a lesser guarantee and hope for patches from interested parties (hi Skip
:).

Speaking of which, I will wait until Skip gives me the green light and then I
will release a 5.2.1 that fixes the XEmacs support.  Just let me know.
