Check out table-editing mode from
http://table.sourceforge.net/. This
is really cool, but it does have problems with XEmacs.
The mode uses variable 'enable-multibyte-characters'. In XEmacs 21.2
this used to be an internal Emacs compatibility variable set to nil.
XEmacs 21.4 does not have it.
Q: Should we add this variable, or should table.el be modified not to
depend on it (it works fine if you bind it to nil)?

PS It would be nice to see this added to one of the packages (even if
it is buggy with XEmacs for now)
