I wouldn't say clumsy, but that's just me.

XEmacs 19.15 just got released, it has a new package called "custom"
that might make it easer for you to configure.

If all you want is syntax highlighting, with a reasonable degree of
configurability, JED will probably do you well.  Personally, I can't
give up the Real Thing, because it's got so much more in it.  It may
be overwhelming to begin with, but its worth the investment of time to
learn, since you can do a lot more with it than just edit C code.

ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/jed (you'll need the slang library as well,
which is on the same site)
