I develop and maintain several Emacs Lisp tools in my imaginary spare time which I keep in my CEDET project. http://cedet.sourceforge.net/ and have had versioning trouble between my own packages, and with other not-in-emacs packages. To help confine version problems, I wrote (and posted to gnu.emacs.sources) a little tool I called "inversion" to help identify if what you need is "in version" whatever of some package. You can peek at it in CVS here. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cedet/cedet/common/ or http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/cedet/cedet/common/inversion.el?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain Perhaps it would be useful.
