We have no control over the way any 3rd party packages XEmacs.
I'll investigate the feasibility of compressing our info files (for
packages at least). But won't that then affect the people with XEmacs
distributions with normal uncompressed info files?
It seems to me that this is just one of the things that you have to
put up with when you install anything that doesn't originate from the
main developers.

No. And there's not likely to ever be either.
