mouse-save-then-kill expects kill-ring to be a consp

mouse-save-then-kill expects kill-ring to be a consp

I don't know if this is still a bug in Emacs 21; I just checked the code
quickly (didn't test), but it was a bug in Emacs 20:

Initially, the kill-ring is nil, and mouse-save-then-kill expects it to be a
consp. I fixed this for myself in Emacs 20 this way: (unless kill-ring
(kill-new ""))

It looks like the bug is still present in Emacs 21.3 to me as well.

Why doesn't kill.el use ring.el, like this:

(defcustom kill-ring-max ...)

(defcustom kill-ring (make-ring kill-ring-max) ...)
