Hi, some people probably know my X-Symbol package (semi WYSIWYG for
LaTeX, HTML, etc),
http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~wedler/x-symbol/
I now started to make it a proper XEmacs package. I would appreciate if
you could test my first attempt (obviously the second ;-)

It uses the XEmacs.rules, modified by Jan Vroonhof for his
toolbar-fancy. Thanks to Jan for all his explanations about XEmacs
packages.
I would appreciate to get comments concerning
(1) The directory structure:
* X-Symbol uses additional fonts:
bin: etc/x-symbol/{fonts,origfonts,pcf},
src: x-symbol/{fonts,origfonts,pcf}
* X-Symbol creates executables from its lisp code and variables
via flex & cc. The proposed directory for these executables is
etc/x-symbol/bin/SYSTEM-CONFIGURATION/
Is this consistent with XEmacs' standards?
(2) My makeinfo-1.68 adds spurious spaces when called with option `-o'
and a file name other than the original one. If this is specific
here on my system, I should probably change the Makefile...
(3) Package X-Symbol has two special lisp files: one is only used (and
compilable) when used with XEmacs/Mule, the other only with
XEmacs/no-Mule. How should I built the binary package? Currently,
x-symbol-mule.el (or x-symbol-nomule.el) belongs to EXTRA_SOURCES.
Or should I make x-symbol-nomule.el compilabe (but not runnable)
under XEmacs/Mule and create the binary package with XEmacs/Mule?
(4) You probably know that cus-dep.el is buggy (when defining an own
custom-set function). I'd rather avoid special work-arounds like
Jan did in his toolbar-fancy...
Any suggestion is welcome!
