package.el is the issue.  The ELPA standard is just a web site with a
metadata file.  So I don't know if package.el works on XEmacs but they
have their own package system.

IMO it would be really nice to the Gnus users to provide a way to pull a
nightly build as a package, both in the GNU ELPA and in XEmacs (whatever
the package system).  I can set up the nightly update of the GNU ELPA,
and making Gnus itself into a package should be pretty easy (famous last
words).  I don't know enough about XEmacs to say.
