I'm unclear what to do w.r.t. ~/.emacs & ~/.xemacs/init.el

We recently switched from 21.4.something to 21.5.28 at work, mostly because the powers-that-be wanted to dump some older shared library to which 21.4 was linked. I had built and installed 21.5.28 and was using it personally without any significant problems but hadn't yet made it the default. Now that it's loose in the wild the occasional problem/question from users pops up. Today, one guy complained about problems with cut-n-paste between xemacs sessions. First thing I noticed was XEmacs complaining about not being able to open ~/.xemacs/init.el. I fixed that by creating an empty file. His cut-n-paste errors disappeared as well. Alas, now it fails to load his ~/.emacs file. Bearing in mind the recent flurry of messages about auto-conversion of ~/.emacs to ~/.xemacs/init.el (which I almost completely ignored), what is the best (read: most foolproof) way to convert his ~/.emacs file to ~/.xemacs/init.el without hosing his .emacs file? (Lots of people here use both emacs and xemacs, either by accident or design, so ~/.emacs must be preserved.)
