If I'm not severely mistaken this won't work so easily. There might be
site-lisp code that is dependent on the editor being used - I.e. settings
for special xemacs or fsfmacs features. I agree that it's not *very* probable
that both xemacs and fsfmacs are insalled on the same machine, but one never
knows and would have to ensure that at least no files get overwritten with
versions from another type of editor.
