The compromise for me would be this:
- You fix the things above.

- I program any new features with whatever is available
in Emacs 22/23 and rely on you to make it XEmacs compatible.....
That would be wonderful. I'll see that the issues are addressed:
1. posix character classes in regular expressions, thinks like
[:alpha:]
These are nice because they work well with arbitrary languages.
Does XEmacs suppor these now?
No, but I'll see to it that they are.
Right now I am using a macro to replace them with the corresponding
ASCII character sets - but this is not nice and even wrong in foreign
languages.
2. The overlay API - I think XEmacs actually has a compatibility lib
for these, is that correct?
Correct.
One of the things you could do it to figure out if I can also
switch
to the API calls overlays-in and overlays-at in that library.
You should, anyway: I'll take care of any problems. I take it
something
about these didn't work for you in the past: If that is so, a sentence
or two on what those problems were would be much appreciated.
I don't remember - I wrote these compatibility functions without
knowledge
of the library in XEmacs. So it is well possible that the library
functions just work - I will just switch - and wait for any bug reports.
3. outline.el. Last time looked, XEmacs still had the horrible old
outline.el which is pretty much impossible to program.
I do have a port, xemacs/noutline.el in the Org distribution - if
you
could get that into XEmacs, that would get rid of a major
annoyance,
including complicated installation instructions.
I'm working on this right now - should be no big problem. A few minor
incompatibilities with our current outline.el need to be addressed,
but
I'm working on them.
OK. This is a potential source of future problems - but we will see.
4. Can you make XEmacs understand mouse-3 instead of button3 ? Or
maybe it does understand these by now?
No; I'll try to get this in.
Won't all happen overnight, but I'm getting to work on it. I very
much
appreciate your willingness to help!
Thank you for your willingness to take much off my task list.
