That explains your reaction, I guess.  Now I remember this problem--I
switched away from XEmacs several years ago.

The problem, as you probably know, is that the XEmacs VC can't support
out-of-tree backends like GNU can.  FWIW, rumor on xemacs-beta was
that an update was in progress, but it has yet to materialize.

In the meantime my Emacs isn't happy. :( Since almost all of my the
changes are additions, I can put about two "unless hg-running-xemacs",
a few lines of refactoring, and it will work.  But I guess that
doesn't count as clean?

I really would like to solve this and be able to use Mercurial in
Emacs.  If it doesn't work out, that's not ideal but OK, I can
maintain a private fork and keep quiet. :)
