I have also been thinking about adding the ability for a package to specify a Lisp form to evaluate to indicate whether it should be loaded. This way, we can do things like move packages into the core, provide different versions of packages for different XEmacs releases or +/-mule, make a separate mule-packages become unnecessary, etc. Makes it much easier to have a unified set of packages without crimping our style. This is actually really easy to implement, and does not require any major overhauling. Someone want to do it? If not, I'll do it when there's time. ben Jan Vroonhof wrote: -- Ben In order to save my hands, I am cutting back on my mail. I also write as succinctly as possible -- please don't be offended. If you send me mail, you _will_ get a response, but please be patient, especially for XEmacs-related mail. If you need an immediate response and it is not apparent in your message, please say so. Thanks for your understanding. See also http://www.666.com/ben/typing.html.
