Hi Uwe,

what does the (expand-file-name \"./xemacs\") do?  The Org  
distribution no longer contains an xemacs directory.

This is annoying.  It is possible to expand the rx calls and inline  
the resulting regular expressions, but I guess Lennart would not want  
me to do this.  For me, rx regexps are more difficult to read than  
string ones because I have been working with the string represenations  
for such a long time.

You know what, I am going to ask Lennart if he would object....

I'll get back to you
