Those files are typically also distributed separately from Emacs for older
Emacsen or for XEmacs, so it is better to keep this code so as to minimize
the difference between the version bundled with Emacs and the other version:
any difference tends to lead to problems keeping the files in sync.

Note that (featurep 'xemacs) is replaced by nil by the byte-compiler.
