The major target of Tramp 2.1.18 was synchronization with the upcoming
GNU Emacs 23.2. I haven't performed too much XEmacs tests.

I'll have a look on it, but it won't be before mid of April. I'll be off
for 3 weeks, starting on Saturday.

However, the more clean solution would be if XEmacs could take over
remote process functions, introduced with GNU Emacs 22 and 23.
Hopefully, switch over to GPLv3 in XEmacs give us a chance for that.
