Sometime ago, I mentioned getting an updated version of eldoc into
xemacs. As mentioned then, the next to latest version which is GPLv2
compatible can be used. I've been using this version unchanged with
xemacs for some time now.
What do I need to do to get it into xemacs?

I'd like to suggest taking over the relevant package, but I don't
think we can dodge responsibility for xemacs-devel. You could apply
for XEmacs Review Board. I wouldn't mind having another half-active
developer around. :-)
(1) Post a feature request to the tracker where (unlike my INBOX, and
most people's) it won't get lost. Make sure there's an easy URL
(a relative reference in a GNU Emacs tree will do, don't forget to
say which version) to get the file.
(2) Bump its priority to urgent. (If you can't do that, email me
personally and I'll give you the needed privilege. But I think
it's on the honor system, any registered user can bump priority.)
(3) Keep bugging us on xemacs-beta. (Sorry 'bout that, but you know
how it is with us volunteers. :-( )

Ok, I guess I can do that. Maybe.
One issue: I think 21.4 doesn't support the defcustom stuff used in
eldoc.el. Does that mean that I would have to replace all of that with
some 21.4 compatible stuff? If so, my motivation level is drastically
reduced.:-( (I haven't used 21.4 since 21.5 was originally released oh
so many years ago.)

You'd have to be more specific about what it is you think is
unsupported. AFAIK, customize has not changed much between 21.4 and
21.5. There was some change made to help deal with some defface
weirdness in GNU Emacs, but that's the only one I can recall.

Sorry about that. I did try it out with 21.4 way back when and it
wouldn't load. I'll try again, once I get a 21.4 build, and report back
on the issues I find.

Finally got around to building and installing 21.4.22. Whatever problem
it was that I thought I had was just some strange dream. :-)
After a few minutes of testing, eldoc works as expected.
So there are no obvious show-stopper issues with eldoc.
I'll try to go do the tracker stuff you mentioned.
