What's the philosophy for packages? A scheme such as the above
works only if packages are independent of XEmacs versions.
They are, so Jonathan is correct.
However, in practice, I have not found this to be true; packages
tend to depend on a particular XEmacs version or vice-versa.
No practice has been established yet, since no XEmacs version has been
shipped with package support...
