Ideally I was aiming to have both emacsen share their minibuffer
histories, but I'm not sure if that's realistic.  I suppose the patch
is OK, except you might want to use ~/.xemacs under XEmacs.  Something
like:

(defcustom savehist-file
  (cond
   ;; Backward compatibility with previous versions of savehist.
   ((file-exists-p "~/.emacs-history") "~/.emacs-history")
   ((and (not (featurep 'xemacs)) (file-directory-p "~/.emacs.d/"))
    "~/.emacs.d/history")
   ((and (featurep 'xemacs) (file-directory-p "~/.xemacs/"))
    "~/.xemacs/history")
   ;; For users without .emacs.d.
   (t "~/.emacs-history"))
  "File name to save minibuffer history to.
The minibuffer history is a series of Lisp expressions, which should be
loaded using `savehist-load' from your .emacs.  See `savehist-load' for
more details."
  :type 'file
  :group 'savehist)
