Actually, I was thinking in terms of xemacs-packages. Most of the
stuff in unsupported ends up being moved to xemacs-packages. For
stuff that we probably never will support, I prefer the name
"contrib".
That's not important. However, we badly need an uninstall target in
XEmacs.rules. For Unix, finding the MANIFEST.$package and doing `cat
MANIFEST.$package | xargs rm -f' works, I bet. Dunno about Windows
though.

CVS is one of our primary modes of distribution now. We're a free
software project; to me that implies we distribute everything we do,
perhaps with some evaluation as to whether you really want to take it
or not. :-)

chsh -s /usr/bin/xemacs comes pretty close. (This used to work, have
tried it recently though.)
