Before doing that, I would probably ask on the XEmacs developer list
whether somebody wants to do the basic work of keeping our CVS copy
working under XEmacs.  As long as this does not affect the code much,
it should be doable.

In particular since the calc code base is really ancient and from the
time before the Lucid fork.  At some point of time, one should think
about adding menus, toolbar buttons and the like.  Then XEmacs
compatibility might become more of an issue, and would require
somewhat more outside work.
