You're welcome!  I suppose I should have introduced myself as the 
Calc maintainer for Emacs.

None of them, actually.  But if there was no chance of them ever being
used, I thought they could be eliminated (and make the code slightly
cleaner).  Since there is the possibility of some code migration, I'll
leave them in.  However, they will change from looking at the value of 
`calc-emacs-type-lucid' 
(whose value is `(not (not (string-match "Lucid" emacs-version)))') 
to using 
`(featurep 'xemacs)' 
which is of course better for optimization.  XEmacs's Calc uses the same
test  (in slightly different places, due I suppose to minor code drift;
I haven't compared them too thoroughly), and I assume also changing it
to a feature test in XEmacs's Calc wouldn't be a bad idea.

If that happens, feel free to get in touch with me with any questions,
etc.  There have been a few changes in Emacs Calc which I think it would
be worth adding to the XEmacs version (in my not exactly unbiased
opinion).
