If the powers that be decide that they want to re-instate the
pre-loading of x-mouse in order to provide backwards compatability with
users' .emacs files, then this is what has to be done:
1. Create the file site-load.el containing the line:
(load "x-mouse")
2. Remove xemacs and dump a new one.
I tried this when I first started playing with 18.57 on Athena. It
didn't work. X-mouse can't be pre-loaded, because the
window-system-version variable doesn't get set properly until emacs is
actually up and running under X.
I corresponded with rms about it, and he said there's no way to get it
to load before undumping. Now, there may really be a way to get it
with some gross kludge, but frankly, I don't think it's worth it.
