Yes. XEmacs assumes an ANSI-C environment, and all the above values
can be expected to exist, even without a configure test. So all these
values should be accessed using C, and exported to lisp where
necessary.
This is another area where the K&R C heritage of Emacs shows through.
We should strive to modernize all of these.
