It should use C0 and L1 at the start of the buffer.  Perhaps with a
switch to change it, but the default should be for XEmacs to be
self-consistent.  I.e. if I set comment-column to 40, that should mean
that comments are inserted at the column where the mode lines displays
"40".

Just delete `column.el', and do a

	(defalias 'display-column-mode 'column-number-mode)

The later is implemented in C and doesn't slow down XEmacs.
