That's not the change I was talking about. I was talking about this one: 2002-11-20 Markus Rost * Makefile.in (setwins_almost): Renamed from finder_setwins. (custom-deps): Use it. (finder-data): Adjust to that name change. This is where custom-deps started using setwins_almost. Before that, it was only used in finder-data (under a different name, but the name is not what bothers me). I can understand why finder-inf.el can live without the term subdirectory: there should be no optional packages in there. But custom-deps is quite another matter, I think. > For instance, in Emacs as of 2004-03-10 there were the following > defcustom's in lisp/term/*: > > ./pc-win.el:176:(defcustom x-select-enable-clipboard t > ./x-win.el:2106:(defcustom x-select-enable-clipboard nil x-select-enable-clipboard is an important user option. We shouldn't miss it, I think.
