XEmacs speaks the following two dragndrop dialects: CDE, and Offix. Not
the opendesktop one, nor the KDE one, nor the Gnome one. So, of
Harold's new packages, which ones support CDE or Offix style dragndrop?
(Now, I believe the GTK-XEmacs build sprechen se Gnome/opendesktop
dragndrop -- but GTK-XEmacs isn't under discussion. (At least, not
until we get a glib, atk, pango, and gtk package.)

I dunno. The point is, that on Mandrake at least, these conflicting
files were moved into a separate package so that one could install both
Emacs / XEmacs / Ctags / etc. That is, if there are conflicts, minimize
and segregate them.

Sure. Personally, I view that as even MORE work than just ITP'ing LDAP.
