Worked for me in a german locale (expanded to Eigene Dateien¹).

savehist complains:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No such coding system" iso-2022-8)
  coding-system-property(iso-2022-8 pre-write-conversion)
  write-region(1 9592 "~/.emacs-history" nil quiet)
  savehist-save(t)

So I have to turn it off to be able to exit XEmacs.

Great work by the way!  I really appreciate having an up-to-date
all-packages included install kit.

Thank you,

¹  which turned out to be marked read-only, so init.el loading failed since
python mode couldn't set py-temp-directory (it tries $TMPDIR, but not $TEMP
or $TMP, weird).
