new import of xemacs 20.2, including MULE support. Note that I tested that I could build with mule support, but I couldn't actually check the functionality. "make package" and pkg_delete both tested (under -current).

+XEmacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time
+display editor.
+
+Users new to XEmacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly
+by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.
+XEmacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily
+extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.
+
+XEmacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending
+(Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running
+subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print
+loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy (Doctor :-) and
+many more. There is a WWW browsing mode written fully in elisp
+that looks and behaves much like the netscape WWW browser.
+
+XEmacs has similar functionality to GNU Emacs. It uses a different
+display model, including support for Motif menu and scroll bars and the
+ability to run as a widget inside other applications. Many people say
+it looks nicer than GNU Emacs.
