Yes.  When Lars starts putting out Quassia Gnus releases, it will be
possible to install them as the One True Version of Gnus without the
Gnus 5.4 autoloads and files getting in the way.

Yes.  The default package hierarchies searched are /etc/xemacs/ and
~/.xemacs/ in beta15, in beta16 it will be
${prefix}/lib/xemacs/packages/ and ~/.xemacs/.  This can be changed by 
feeding configure an appropriate setting of --pkgdir.

Packages are searched at dump time regardless of whether XEmacs will
be run in place or not.  This means that the separate packages are
first class citizens (autoload magic cookies work, custom-loads
work, selected files may be dumped with the binary) in a fashion not
possible with site-lisp.
