Enable unloading of dynamic modules. Create the first two internal XEmacs
modules: LDAP and postgreSQL. Update the sample directory to contain a
sample internal XEmacs module and a sample external XEmacs module. Improve
support for autoloading modules. Make internal module code compile into the
XEmacs binary if XEmacs is configured without module support. Make the
internal module directories self-contained so that they can be distributed
separately from XEmacs.

To use: You need to build and install the XEmacs distribution. Also you need the xemacs packages in both source and installed versions. Edit "dirs.py" to reflect the locations of the above components. Edit "version.py" to reflect the current version, as well as the welcome message. Run python pre_wise.py > xemacs-XXX.wse (for XXX use a version or date code of your choosing) Run cmd /c xemacs-XXX.wse to produce xemacs-XXX.exe "pre_wise.py" is a preprocessor for the Wise installer maker. It reads "xemacs.tmpl" which is a Wise input file, except that certain portions are enclosed in triple angle brackets <<<like this>>> These portions are evaluated as Python expressions and replaced by the string representations of the resulting value. This allows for things to change from release to release without having to re-do the Wise installation each time. Also it keeps you from having to manually drag-n-drop all the package files, which is rather tedious!
