Hmm, you're right. The implementation of `process-file' in Tramp 2.0
is stupid, indeed. It does not return the proper exit code.

I hope we can solve the GPL licensing issues sometime. Then we could
go forward with Tramp 2.1 in XEmacs, which has been declared as stable
Tramp version meanwhile.

Best regards, Michael.
