Hello Mike,
many XEmacs package already test for availability of the xargs program
and work around it if not found.
Pleases use xemacs-beta at xemacs.org for any followup.
Most these packages will at least need a find program, though.
See
Benefits of Cygwin for Native Windows XEmacs
in
http://www.xemacs.org/Download/win32/
for some hints about external program requirements.
I have added xargs as required program for jde and ocaml now.
This information should be made more easily reachable. I'll have to
think about this and welcome any recommendations.
Try
http://www.xemacs.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=xargs&whence=0&lang=en&submit=Go
to demonstrate the usefullness of the XEmacs Website search engine,
which will find the relevant page with information about "xargs" as
hit 4 of 9 now, after my update.

I can't find how vhdl-mode requires the "xargs" program, though.
Vin responded similarly to another inquiry documented iin
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/xemacs-beta/200512/msg00366.html?line=67#hilite
How exactly did you "attempt to use a VHDL file".
What exactly did you do?
Try this:
M-x toggle-debug-on-error
Provoke error again
