Is it possible to describe, in a few lines, what the technical problem
is in making the package build within the XEmacs Package Tree?
With accuracy, no. At one time, the AUCTeX build process required
running configure on the installation host. That would obviously
result in undistributable binary packages. Since then the build
process has changed, and the ability of the AUCTeX project to build
installable binaries is proof of concept.
The remaining problems are administrative, really: figuring out what
pieces of the AUCTeX source distribution are supposed to get installed
where, and matching them up to the build infrastructure. However,
this does require some familiarity with both the infrastructure and
the AUCTeX distribution, and as far as I know there currently is
nobody with both.
