O.K. That's one hurdle. I've thought about this some more and
remembered the introduction of overlay emulation. We have had
plenty of difficulties with emulation and feature checking before
-- remember the overlay problems from last Spring?
How does it work if you also use mic-paren and eldoc (to name two
packages that use timers but shouldn't use them in XEmacs)?
I don't normally use those, but after I loaded them, there were problems.
I hacked on autorevert.el to use itimers if available, and its much more
consistent. It hasn't had heavy testing, but it hasn't broken yet where the
original broke almost immediately.
I'm CC'ing the author.
