Just to let you know... I guess the newest emacs-23 cvs version has a
version that is pretty close to your 6.2 version.  Although I notice
quite a hefty byte count difference.

The one with the ilya extension I just downloaded from your repo.  And
the emacs-23 from cvs just now too.

As you see the size is different by 73253 bytes.

I found when I load either yours or the cvs one... my syntax highlight
(font-lock) problems disappear.

Your version throws a lot of byte-compile warnings when compiled with
emacs-23 but seems to work just fine.

Thanks for the tip about there being a difference.  

But from what I just read on emacs.devel .. the newest version in 23
is synced against your latest.
