Yes I understand that. However nobody seems to answer my basic question: ARE THERE ANY OTHER PACKAGES (besides emacs) WHICH USES THOSE FILES? If emacs is the only packages which uses these files, why maintain them separately from emacs? All changes to those files for the last 5 years are related to emacs, so I doubt any other package is using them. I don't want us to solve a problem which isn't there! -- Kim F.
