Thanks.  I've tested it with the most recent dired XEmacs
package and five XEmacs variants.  The following four XEmacsen
don't need that specialty:

XEmacs 21.5.11 configured with `--with-mule'
XEmacs 21.5.11 configured with `--with-mule=no'
XEmacs 21.4.12 configured with `--with-mule' and `--with-file-coding'
XEmacs 21.4.12 configured with `--with-mule=no' and `--with-file-coding'

But I couldn't run Tramp with the following one:

XEmacs 21.4.12 configured with `--with-mule=no' and `--with-file-coding=no'

The cause by which it doesn't work is probably CRLF issue.  I've
only confirmed that Tramp cannot complete sending the `stty
-onlcr' command regardless of the value of tramp-rsh-end-of-line.

The file-coding feature provides some coding-systems (e.g.,
iso-8859-1, iso-8859-2, raw-text-dos/mac/unix, etc.) and CRLF to
LF conversion even if the form `(featurep 'mule)' returns nil.
XEmacs 21.5 without Mule has the file-coding feature implicitly.
Those non-Mule XEmacsen are quite useless for Japanese users. :)
