Possible, yes, but I don't think it is practical. Even though the |
| 7 |
general steps to compile and install elisp are the same for GNU Emacs |
| 8 |
and XEmacs, there are also a lot of finicky little implementation |
| 9 |
details that are different. There would not be a lot of joined code, I |
| 10 |
think. |

While looking for some examples I found that not many eclasses currently |
| 16 |
do this, so perhaps this is good advice for others as well? Petteri's |
| 17 |
own java-utils-2.eclass does support this, obviously, and so will the |
| 18 |
xemacs eclass. |
