Another example (BTW: Is this fixed in the RC branch?):

Gnus 5.9 bundled with Emacs 21.3 comes with a slightly broken version
of the function `sort-coding-systems'.  Therefore in some cases, Gnus
uses utf-16-x rather than utf-8.  Additionally, it's not correct
utf-16-be.  (See [1] for details.)

My current test is...

(when (featurep 'xemacs)
  (error (concat "This file cannot be used with XEmacs.")))
(defun rs-sort-coding-systems (codings) [... fixed code ...])
(if (and (= emacs-major-version 21) (= emacs-minor-version 3))
    (defalias 'sort-coding-systems 'rs-sort-coding-systems)
  (message "[...]"))

Okay, here I'd need `emacs-version=', rather than emacs-version>='.
But I don't see a better test than emacs-version.

Bye, Reiner.
