Yuck.

I think the documentation can be difficult to read because its authors
are not native English speakers, but it has improved lately.  However,
it does state that you need APEL if you're running XEmacs or Emacs
19.34, but I can use it on Emacs 19.34 without APEL.  And MULE is not
something you may need (or not) for emacs-w3m, it's a feature of Emacs
itself (or not).
