I don't know XP environment but there is a work around.

The 'gtags-visit-rootdir' just set environment variable to the root directory
of the source tree. So, you can do the same job by hand. In UNIX environment,
'gtags-visit-rootdir' is nearly equal to the following command line:

        $ global -pr
        /xxx/yyy/zzz
        $ export GTAGSROOT=/xxx/yyy/zzz
        $ xemacs

(I don't know the command line in XP environment.)

By the way, if you execute xemacs in the root directory of source code or
the directories under it, you need not set the variable.
Good luck!
