I'm the one, but don't read too much into it, I was a mere tester.  My 
role was confirming that things worked correctly out of the box, which 
they did and AFAIK still do.  The idea was that you didn't need to do 
*anything* to make it work -- as long as your X server emitted the 
proper keysyms, you'd just start XEmacs and start typing, and Croatian 
characters would just show correctly.

I honestly don't know why the exact same code wouldn't work for Polish.

I believe things still work correctly.  I can fire up xemacs -vanilla, 
switch my keyboard layout to "Croatian" and start typing, and XEmacs 
does The Right Thing.  When I press `C-h c <the ccaron key on the 
keyboard>', XEmacs tells me "ccaron runs the command 
self-insert-command".  When I just press the key, it correctly inserts 
the actual ccaron character.  And so on.

That's in 21.4.12 as provided by Red Hat.  A silly question: perhaps the 
original reporter is using an older XEmacs version that predates 
Martin's keysym fixes?
