I have no idea why nnheaderxm.el includes the copies of these
functions at all.  Steven, you're the one who put them back in after I
removed them -- was it an XEmacs 19.13 thing or something?

In comparison, the function used under Emacs is rather small and
straightforward: 

(defun nnheader-find-file-noselect (&rest args)
  (let ((format-alist nil)
	(auto-mode-alist (nnheader-auto-mode-alist))
	(default-major-mode 'fundamental-mode)
	(enable-local-variables nil)
        (after-insert-file-functions nil))
    (apply 'find-file-noselect args)))

Shouldn't this work under XEmacs as well?
