You'd have to ask Jerry James, but I bet Sebastian could explain them
easily enough. :-)

Well considering that DSO is already there (even in 21.4) I disagree.
XEmacs is not likely to drop DSO any time soon so we have to support
it, especially as we'll do a much better job of it anyway.
No, this doesn't mean that FFI is out. It means that we either have
both (at least initially) or just FFI if it can load the XEmacs
DSO's.
(this probably deserves a new thread)
