Dear Aidan - Would you *prefer* to do it yourself, or be at least as happy
if someone else takes it on?
Is there a current maintainer for 32-bit XEmacs? That person might be
logical to support 64-bit as well.
On a somewhat different tack: Is XEmacs now being more actively developed?
Web commentary from four years ago suggested that its development pretty
much stopped ... [Note: Certainly not intending to step into the middle
of any contention about Emacs vs XEmacs!]
