 What packages are considered core (i.e. should be inside a

The minimal number to get an automatic package fetching system to

Mule build requires `mule-base'.

 and which are considered auxilliary (i.e. the installers choice)?

Everything else.

 I'm currently writing a automatic package-get-base to rpm.spec

Cool!

 I just wonder which package should go into the main tarball/rpm.

Don't mix packages with the XEmacs core tarball.  Packages can be
updated after 'net release, the core cannot be until the next 'net
release.

 Or should none? At least the mule-stuff for a MULE enabled package...

A case can be made for including `mule-base' since you cannot build
XEmacs/Mule without it.
