Well, is this something which needs fixing?

I think now would be a good time, but Eric should say if he's OK with
that. Since we bumped the minimum supported version for CEDET to 23.2,
we wouldn't have to ship EIEIO at all.

The only thing that's missing in Emacs is the EIEIO test suite, but I
can fix that.
