Hello Dan, Jan, Michael!
I was the one who changed from
insert-file-contents-internal
to
insert-file-contents-literally
because the former caused problems when installing packages built by
Windows NT native XEmacs.
AFAIK, reverting to insert-file-contents-internal would be wrong.
Jan and Michael had this figured out. There were patches to core lisp
and efs to make this work.
Jan, Michael, could you please comment?
Best regards,
Adrian
