Excellent!  Thank you, this is wonderful!  I have a few questions and comments.

1. Is there a 21.4 repo?  I tried:

"hg clone https://bitbucket.org/xemacs/xemacs-21.4", but no joy:

warning: bitbucket.org certificate with fingerprint
81:2b:08:90:dc:d3:71:ee:e0:7c:b4:75:ce:9b:6c:48:94:56:a1:fe not
verified (check hostfingerprints or web.cacerts config setting)
abort: HTTP Error 404: NOT FOUND

2. About that cert error; it seems that adding these lines:

[web]
cacerts = /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

to my .hgrc is enough to satisfy hg as to the validity of the
certificates.  Here I'm using Fedora; see
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/CACertificates for more info on
where the certificate files reside on other systems.

3. Thanks for porting the xemacs-packages to hg!!  Apart from all the
CVS keyword changes, I noticed the following diffs:

   Only in cvsroot/xemacs-packages: unsupported
   Only in hgroot/xemacs-packages/xemacs-packages: eicq
   Only in hgroot/xemacs-packages/xemacs-packages/gnus: gnus
   Only in hgroot/xemacs-packages/xemacs-packages: ps-print-nomule
   Only in hgroot/xemacs-packages/xemacs-packages/w3/lisp: custom-load.el

4. Is there a repo of the XEmacs web sources?  I would like to capture
this new info there.

Thanks again!

Regards,
  Vin

PS. I created a bitbucket account; the account name is "acs".  Thanks
in advance for getting me push access.  Do you need my public key?
