It depends, if you have some packages already have loaded it
might work.  Basically you need to require 'overlay and define
some functions missing on XEmacs.  Those are also provided by
other packages and thus in a non vanilla XEmacs it might work.

I have sent a patch fixing these to Phillip Lord which should
fix these problems, but I am still playing a bit with it to
workout some issues.
