Oh yes, I forgot: even worse than XEmacs 21.4 mule is XEmacs 21.4
nomule which you'll have to use in Windows...

One the positive side, there is a CVS Emacs including AUCTeX for
Windows precompiled on the AUCTeX download site, so you might get the
same Emacs on both platforms (something which you can't easily get
with XEmacs 21.4).

I'd guess it to be a combination or one of setting your Linux locale
(where this is done depends on distribution), loading un-define,
setting your default language environment variable and/or default
coding systems inside of XEmacs.

And things will be different for your mule and your nomule XEmacs...
