I still ask Kai for such changes, just for the records.

Yes, but I'm short in time. I do not want to distribute the same sources
twice under different license terms.

I also believe that Tramp 2.1 shall be the version in the XEmacs package
repository. Tramp 2.0 is said to see security updates only (although I
break this rule again and again :-) And Tramp 2.1 does not exist in a
GPLv2 version I'ld like to maintain.

It looks promising now.

Best regards, Michael.
