I think that you maybe are misunderstanding some things. - I am uploading the binaries for w32 from the CVS for others to test. I do not use the unpatched binaries myself. - I do not currently want to spend time setting up for doing the same thing for the tarballs too. - There is nothing on the Savanna page mentioning EMACS_22_BASE. I just did a fresh checkout and did not get EMACS_22_BASE. I guess that is pretty simple to understand (as is nearly everything we can understand at all) if one knows CVS. I do not know that. - If I complain about something I am not doing that because I just want to complain. I did find the current situation less useful.
