IIRC I prepared the release packages on my notebook on SUSE 10.0
(xemacs-21.5.21.20050721-4) whereas the snapshots (incl. the XEmacs
package) are prepared on SUSE 9.2 (xemacs-21.4.15-64.4; given that
security support for SUSE 9.2 has been discontinued, this machine will
be upgraded quite soon).

Is it still necessary to have it compiled with XEmacs 21.4 after this
change?  Given my past experience with XEmacs builds and the
frightening `system-configuration-options'[1] in SUSE's XEmacs,
compiling a suitable XEmacs 21.4 is something I'd like to avoid.  I'm
not sure which features are required for AUCTeX/preview-latex.  MULE?
Image formats?

Bye, Reiner.
