None of the above except VM are required for dumping. In general, the
vc and vc-cc also set dump to t. Is this a typo?
XEmacs binary should not be required to be redumped after installing
packages -- they should Just Work. That's the whole point of loading
autoloads at run time instead of dump time.
fsf-compat is required by mule-base. So I thought I but it into the basic
package.
We should remember that an RPM package should be an easy to use package for
users who don't want to compile, dump, or tinker with XEmacs. They just want
something that works and is easy to install.
Before we release we want to get rid of all the package
`dumped-lisp.el'
files for flexibility. VM is probably an easy fix.

egg-its can also be used with SJ3. SJ3 support is entirely Lisp-based.

A Japanese dictionary. _Very cool_ ...

A Lisp-based Japanese input package.
But they need to be dumped. Correct? So they must go into the XEmacs-mule RPM.
Perhaps I will make better a XEmacs and a XEmacs-nomule package. Cause mule
should be the standart to use. Wrong?

P.S.: What about those cyclic requires? gnus -> rmail -> tm -> rmail & gnus
