This is for my own purposes. I got the message about the patch for
libraries, I applied it and now I try to recompile it all.
(Especially for the famous emacs bug due to setenv() ). Concerning
emacs, do you plan to change the current version to emacs 20 ? I've
already tried to compile it, and it works! emacs 20 is funnier than
19.34... :) (yes I know, I'm an emacs-enthousiast !)
