It's a bug actually, that I myself introduced in a patch to make
XEmacs compile with stock X11R6.  Fixed, and therefore I can
definitely come up with a binary kit that also runs on normal RS/6000
boxes.  Since nobody else ever tried to do this anyway with any
version of XEmacs, we're on the safe side.  I'll figure out a patch
anyway once the dust has settled on 19.15.
