Having packages split across two different places will make maintenance a bitch. But what you could do is add a 'PROBLEMS' file to each non-Mule package that contains Mule files. [1] [2] ,----[ ./PROBLEMS ] | This package contains files that will only byte-compile using a | Mule-enabled XEmacs. | | Those files are: x.el, y.el, z.el ... | | If your XEmacs is not Mule-enabled, don't panic, this package does not | lose any functionality by not having the above files byte-compiled. `---- These are the packages that have Mule files...
