XEmacs Packages

I maintain a GNUEmacs/XEmacs programming mode called IDLWAVE (idlwave.org), and have cobbled together an XEmacs package build as part of my standard build, but it seems rather fragile. I've found little information on the details of building packages for XEmacs, from the perspective of a non-XEmacs-developer. Does it require the full XEmacs source to build, or will it use information from the calling xemacs' lisp repository? Any suggestions or pointers you have would be very much appreciated.
