It doesn't do anything (appart from breaking code that beleive it's
there for good reasons). It's just here for compatibility with GNU Emacs.
We had a discussion about this on xemacs-review. I and Hrvoje are for
simply removing it. Steve introduced it first and I don't think I've yet
convinced him that it's bad to have this variable around.
What's sure however is that code that's supposed to be compatible with
the two flavors of Emacs shouldn't even be aware of its eXistenZ under XEmacs.
