Does this change still allow older Emacsen to use the testing library?
I have

    GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0)
    of 2010-12-11 on raven, modified by Debian

and I would still like to be able to run the test suite without
requiring an upgrade to Emacs 24.

Attempting to load the test library in my Emacs now gives the following
error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Loading /home/bernt/git/org-mode/testing/org-test.el (source)...
let*: Cannot open load file: ert-x
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
