Make sure it gets to me somehow. We can put it into CVS, we can put
-pkg tarballs on the FTP site retrievable via the package UI interface
in XEmacs, but it won't go into the Sumo until 21.2 become official.
Does 21.1 use packaging system and sumo tarball as well?

Not quite. We may distribute 21.2-only packages if they are bytecompilable
with XEmacs 21.1. If you follow good coding guidelines, your package will
be bytecompilable by an XEmacs that does not have the underlying
support.
Can you be more specific? Where can I find the guidelines you are
talking about? I have read all those in info already.
See the LDAP package as an excellent example of this.
Where can I find this package?
