At least the capabilities of XEmacs 21.4.  I have a patch for
activating syntactic font locking of verbatim environments in XEmacs
(attached to this mail if somebody wants to play with it), but this
leads to more problems in XEmacs 21.4 than just leaving verbatim
environments untreated.  (I don't recall which ones those were exactly
now.)  It could be that XEmacs 21.5 can handle this.  I haven't
checked that.  It would have to meet the requirements I described in
<URL:http://mid.gmane.org/address@hidden> on xemacs-beta.

I am still unsure how to handle the image libraries wrt to providing
source code.  The Emacs from nqmacs.sf.net simply includes a README
file referring to the GnuWin32 project.  I don't know if this would be
enough.  If it isn't, I don't know if I can just put the source code
found at the GnuWin32 project into a src directory for download
besides the compiled Emacs.  Is there somebody we can ask at gnu.org?
Does anybody know how the GNU project intends to handle this once
Emacs 22 will be released?
