XEmacs 21 Forever

Hi all,

I am maintaining XEmacs 21.4 for myself.  And I have done some changes
that I do not expect to be integrated into the official stable branch.

One fix which may make it, if there ever will be another official
release of 21.4:

* Fixing emodule loading on OS X.  I had to add #define HAVE_DYLD
manually to some file, and edit the command line arguments generated
by ellcc.  The manual edit was because I refuse to fight autotools
anymore.  Other people can do that work if required.  I suppose the
command line switches I added are not the best, so I'm not going to
share that unless someone asks for it.

21.4 still compiles and works fine on OS X, though there are some
issues I haven't fixed, like the lack of sound output.  I will
probably do that with an emodule if I ever do it.

So, since I am maintaining 21.4 for myself, I am offering to share
that with interested parties.  I may also be in a position to offer
hosting for the XEmacs project in general.  Even if that means a
frozen snapshot of everything.

Is there some interest in maintaining the project?  Even if just life
support/frozen snapshots - possibly with the mailing list(s) kept
alive.

I can also be reached at Freenode's #xemacs IRC channel.
