Really, this part of the manual needs thorough reorganization
(tex-mode is in exactly the same situation with two competing modes,
ditto SGML, I believe Perl has two, etc), moving the nodes for the
less popular versions into a separate manual for prog-modes.
Pointers will have to be left for people familiar with the old
layout. Etc.
Maybe you have some time?
Alas, I don't have time to do such a thorough reworking; sorry...
I'm including for your consideration below a paragraph that will
handle the specific issue that I raised, though I'd certainly
understand if you didn't want to include such a paragraph until this
stuff is handled in a more systematic manner. While I'm at it, I'm
including a paragraph that tells people to use report-xemacs-bug to
report bugs. They're diffs against the 21.4.6 manuals; I haven't
actually tried to generate info files from them, and it's been a
decade or so since I last tried to write TeXinfo, so they may well
need some tweaking.

＠subsection Customizing C Indentation
+ XEmacs comes with two different modes for C programming: CC mode
+ (＠pxref{(cc-mode)Top}), distributed as its own package, and
+ ＠code{c-mode}, distributed as part of the ＠code{prog-modes} package.
+ For documentation on C Indentation within CC mode, see
+ ＠ref{(cc-mode)Customizing Indentation}. The rest of this section
+ describes C Indentation within ＠code{c-mode}.

Two variables control which commands perform C indentation and when.
