Abbrev-mode question

Hi, everyone.

Recently I partially moved  to Emacs from XEmacs. What prevents me from
full conversion to Emacs is different behavior of abbrev mode.

In XEmacs abbreviation can consist of several words, so after entering some
phrase that exists in mode specific abbrev-table and whitespace character
it get replaced according to abbrev-table.

In Emacs abbrev mode work just like in XEmacs, but replace occurs only with
one-word abbreviations.

Is there a way to turn on XEmacs-like abbrev mode behavior? Is there
a way to get this functionality in Emacs without abbrev mode?
