Trying to install tramp, I get this:

	tramp-2.1.3> ./configure --with-contrib
	configure: Tramp 2.1.3
	checking for gmake... gmake
	checking for reasonable gmake version... ok
	checking whether gmake sets $(MAKE)... yes
	checking for /usr/gnu/bin/emacs-20.7... yes
	checking for /usr/gnu/bin/emacs-20.7 flavor... emacs
	checking for /usr/gnu/bin/emacs-20.7 version... nok
	configure: error: Tramp 2.1.3 is not fit for GNU Emacs 20.7.1 
		(rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.3.0, X toolkit)

Question 1: My centrally administered system has emacs-20.7,
emacs-21.2, and emacs-21.3.  Could the install script be finding the
older one and stopping before it finds the newer one?  Can I just hack
out the test from 'configure'?  Is this a bug?

Question 2: I'm still using 20.7 because I could never get 21.3
working completely.  Is there a tramp version that works with 20.7?
