The recently-announced update (February 01, 2009) to 'xemacs-emacs-common'
appears to have re-introduced the problem described, below, namely, that
the package 'xemacs-emacs-common' depends on the package 'xemacs'.  The
package 'xemacs-emacs-common' needs to be independent so that both emacs
and xemacs users may install it without installing the other editor.
