Hi Jens - this is what I have tried to do. However, the BIG problem is that the
emacs- and xemacs- packages are inevitably built from the same spec and tarball,
which has a different name (no prefix), and so the module name is different. Joe
User then has a problem with emacs-foo, but then can't find emacs-foo in
bugzilla, because the module is called foo. We can't rename the module to
emacs-foo because then Joe has a problem with xemacs-foo and still can't find
the right module. We can't rename the module xemacs-foo, because Joe has a
problem with xemacs-foo. etc. etc. 

In short, what you propose (and what I've tried to do) isn't possible because
the same source provides extensions for *two* "interpreters" (emacs and xemacs)
and hence there is a naming conflict. Worse, emacs is in core, xemacs is now in
extras.

To achieve what you propose would in the end require having *two* modules in
core, two spec files, and twice the work :)
