Both Aleph and dvipdfmx (latest CVS version) are provided.
You can get the standalone versions too from the same web page.

When I started using XEmacs, the developers were very active. Nowadays,

has been made very messy by the introduction of Mule long ago and that
it will be very difficult to make the switch to Unicode, to speak only
about the internals.
