CEDET seems to have many cyclic dependencies, where the various
subsystems require or autoload each other.  This makes bootstrapping
package-by-package very hard.

I guess there may also be an unrecorded dependency on some feature of
GNU Emacs that is in an XEmacs package (or perhaps defined in CEDET
itself, conditional on running in XEmacs).

I'm afraid that this kind of thing is not an XEmacs problem; it's an
Emacs LISP and package problem, or maybe a porting from GNU to XEmacs
problem.
