 It looks ok from judging with naked-eye check (won't apply here since 
 apparently the patch got somehow mangled thru mail.. whatever).
 
 Another thing: could the dependency on the xemacs-packages port be 
 removed?  Xemacs really has its own packages system, and the 
 xemacs-packages port is a rather arbitrary (and, as I found out, 
 sometimes outdated) assortment.  What would be cool would be: a) plain 
 xemacs port, which doesn't install any packages, and b) xemacs "sumo" 
 packages port, which installs the sumo (i.e. all) package tarball. 
 Anything in between doesn't really make sense, since what packages to 
 include, and what not depends on the personal preferences of the port 
 maintainer.
