Re: elisp-packages, mule and non-mule?

I've been thinking of trying out 'with-mule' in parallel
with the
standard beta non-mule build I'm using. Is that possible? Would I need
two different sets of the elisp packages (with and without) or is it
possible to use a non-mule XEmacs with elisp packages build with a
MULE XEmacs?
Yes: the bytecode is the same, and the mule-packages tree won't be
consulted by the non-MULE XEmacs.
Somewhat related: (Curious) What is the rational in supporting both
versions. Why not just support with mule?
Well, some of us don't use MULE because we're monolinguistic savages. :)
I'm happy to have support for it *there*, but if it means that my XEmacs
size in core grows even larger, or that I have to use disk space on huge
Unicode tables for character sets I don't have fonts for and can't even
read, well, no thanks.
(I'm glad to see that 21.5, while it has the Unicode translit tables,
lets you remove them once installed :) and I have no objection to MULE
in my XEmacs if it doesn't harm speed or size when you're not viewing
anything MULEish... all I use is file-coding.)
