Okay, I think I've sorted everything out except for one chunk of one file, where I haven't yet been able to contact the author. I think I might just take that chunk out for now, and get the package moving. Just for background, Roland reminded me of this prior related discussion: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-11/msg01888.html I think I've cleared everything but that one chunk of ebdb-gnus. If that's okay, I'll do a few more compiler-warning cleanups, and add the package as an external. Thanks, Eric
