That depends on the version shipped with XEmacs.  The best choice
currently is AUCTeX 11.55 which is available as an XEmacs package in
pre-release state.  There should be instructions on how to get and
install it on the XEmacs web site.

Maybe the package mentioned above (in contrast to the installation
with `./configure', `make' and `make install') suits you better.

The switch for XEmacs is called --with-xemacs, not -with-xemacs.  And
has to be the path including the executable.  If this is working, you
will probably want to check if the resulting package directory suits
you.  If not, you should use the --with-packagedir option and specify
the site-packages directory of your XEmacs installation or a folder in
your home directory where XEmacs looks for packages.

I am not sure about quoting on Windows.  If the above gives problems,
you could try with "double" quotes.

Anyway, if you use the XEmacs package, you don't have to do the
configuration procedure.
