It would be a good idea to update to the most recent version of strftime.c and mktime.c. Surely this is not very hard, even if it requires rewriting the relevant parts of Emacs from zero. regexp.c might be harder. Would Emacs work with the current regex.c from gnulib, or does it lack some features added for Emacs? -- Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org
