Henrik:

It will not be uploaded for several weeks I suspect.  5.2.0 has a few issues 
that need to be addressed and then 5.2.1 will be released.  Only after that will 
an XEmacs package be produced.  Unfortunately, making an XEmacs package is not 
so easy unless you do it regularly.  If you only do it rarely (like we do), then 
it is very painful.
