  Sounds reasonable to me.

Since you're working on the carbon port, would you look into tweaking
the package search path to something more OSX compliant ? I mean:

- ~/Library/Application Support/XEmacs/XEmacs Packages/
- /Library/Application Support/XEmacs/XEmacs Packages/ etc.


instead of:

- ~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/
- /usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/ etc.
