Gary Jennejohn 667b857a75 This is the latest version of xemacs - Xemacs 21.1.
This requires xemacs-packages which be will committed next. Xemacs now
allows the user to maintain packages himself. See DESCR.

This supersedes PR 11618, which was based on an older release.

This commit was blasted over a repository copy of xemacs20, which is why
there are so many changes.

XEmacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time
display editor.
Users new to XEmacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly
by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.
XEmacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily
extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.
XEmacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending
(Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running
subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print
loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy (Doctor :-) and
many more. There is a WWW browsing mode written fully in elisp
that looks and behaves much like the netscape WWW browser.
XEmacs has similar functionality to GNU Emacs. It uses a different
display model, including support for Motif menu and scroll bars and the
ability to run as a widget inside other applications. Many people say
it looks nicer than GNU Emacs.
