 This might break packages which expect NTEmacs variable
binary-process-output
 to do things. Packages in XEmacs sumo tarball are clear, please test 3rd
 party packages which you are using. The correct fix is:

 Whenever a construct
 (let ((binary-process-output t))
     ... )

 is used, add one more binding:
 (let ((binary-process-output t)
        (coding-system-for-read 'binary))
     ... )

 This way, old compatibility is not broken and XEmacs compatibility is
 restored. 
You mean: binary-process-output is now ignored, and everyone should
bind coding-system-for-read to `binary' instead.  Don't you think this
should be documented in NEWS, along with a rationale for the change?
