The reason is that the package placement code takes the location of 'mule-base' as the hint where to put Mule related packages. So the last line should be replaced by mule-base - Needed if you compiled XEmacs with MULE. Jan P.S. If you don't care about Mule packages going into xemacs-packages, it is not needed.
