One could argue MULE is better since it's an acronym, but Mule seems
better since the acronym is generally ambiguous and forgotten:

Multilingual Environment
Multilingual Enhancement (for Emacs)
Mulitlingual Emacs

The Mule integrated Emacs may not have a special word for the
multilingual features.

Hrv> XEmacs doesn't compile "out of the box" when compiled in a source

Hrv>   ./configure
Hrv>   make
Hrv> [...]
Hrv>   mkdir abc
Hrv>   cd abc
Hrv>   ../configure --with-mule
Hrv>   make

I do this all the time.  Use the --srcdir option.

Hrv> Problem No. 2 -- documentation for MULE:

Hrv> The documentation for MULE doesn't seem to work.  This is probably the

Yup.  C-h d works for me.
