I hope the cross-post is the right thing to do; if not, my apologies.

There seems to be a bit of this going around. Don't get me wrong, the
Windows port is a GoodThang[tm], and should be strongly encouraged.
But I often get the impression (reading only XEmacs-beta, though, a
somewhat one-sided forum) that the Windows port is being done without
_fully_ understanding the existing code, and with little sympathy for
people who are maintaining existing code and delaying approval of
poorly understood patches---which they will be stuck maintaining in
the future---to it.
Are there any XEmacs/Windows developers who _use_ Mule, especially the
Asian language support or multiple character sets? (This is a real
question; if there's _nobody_, I could try building for Windose and
putting it through its paces, but it's a big cost for me as I have
_none_ of the infrastructure required yet, unless DJGPP 1.12/GCC 2.5.8
counts :-P, and would also have to figure out how to unbreak the
network interface to get Canna and/or Wnn, probably requiring a Win95
reinstall :-/)
