Not sure how this would work for a complex thing such as AUCTeX, but
most of the time, it's not so difficult to support all those
installation schemes from a single source tree.
The key to packaging for XEmacs is that you need to provide a specific
Makefile (sort of imposed by the infrastructure) with some predefined
variables that you need to fill in. But the underlying organization of
your source tree is pretty much what you want.
Because the Makefile is specific, it's better to export your source
tree to another directory (as David says) for XEmacs packaging. For my
own packages, I have a generic infrastructure that does this. Every
project contains a file named Makefile.pkg which is the XEmacs package
one. I use 'hg convert' to export the tree to the appropriate place
(XEmacs packages are under Mercurial) with a special .hgfilemap
containing essentially this:
rename Makefile.pkg Makefile
but the rest of the source tree remains mostly the same. I like to
organize my tree with lisp/*.el doc/*.texi etc/stuff etc., but you
could also be plain flat of whatever.
