 Just for the record, I agree with this.  Even without
`.xemacs/',
 custom-file should default to something other than `.emacs'.  To do
 so, we must make sure that:

 1) Old `.emacs' files with custom options are handled gracefully;

 2) The new `.xemacs-custom' file is loaded automatically, after
    `.emacs'. 
I suggest not using an .xemacs-custom file but use .xemacs/options.el
even if we do not use .xemacs/init.el, because

1. We already have been doing it (unintentionnaly) and it seems to
   work.
2. Having an .xemacs-custom file is making the (eventual) migration to 
   .xemacs/ based system even more difficult as it is yet another file 
   to care for.
3. We have .xemacs anyway for the package system.
