Yeah definitely. It should be provided as an optional
package. It is also a point on my todo list to bundle a
package and provide it and see how/when to integrate it into
XEmacs mainstream.
I will contact XEmacs developers on this ...

For a lot of packages it is like that.
So there are basically two ways and it depends on the
package maintainer, which one to use. Basically I will
try to maintain it so I would prefer 2.
1) xtla--main --> GNU Emacs -> XEmacs
XEmacs always is a bit outdated in this approach.
2) xtla--main --> GNU Emacs
'-> XEmacs
While this one is more up to date.
