That's no big problem, the APEL from apel-xemacs.rpm will have been
build against the XEmacs from xemacs.rpm, i.e. they will match
if one is using both packages from the same SuSE Linux distribution.

And for those who build their XEmacs from source it should also be
no problem to build their APEL using that XEmacs.

This isn't bad news actually. According to what I heard so far, this
is the only path which is likely to work without causing extra
problems.
