First - thanks for your efforts.  I'm sorry to catch you off-guard
with my switchover to texinfo 5.

My rationale was this: since texinfo 5 is incompatible with texinfo 4,
and since XEmacs 21.5 (and some of the packages) have moved to texinfo
5, and many (most?) distros (including cygwin) ship texinfo 5, I
decided to bite the bullet and move to texinfo 5.

I think you should build your own version of texinfo 5 and release the
XEmacs 21.4 built against texinfo 5.  That way, when slackware updates
to texinfo 5, you will be all set.
