Sigh.  XEmacs.  AFAICS it doesn't provide the ?| category.  Can
anybody confirm this?  In their `fill-region-as-paragraph' they do the
newline squashing with the help of `word-across-newline' which
evaluates to "\\(\\cj\\|\\cc\\|\\ct\\)".  Maybe it is sufficient to
use this with your solution?  Do multi-line regexps work in XEmacs?
