Re: bug on ognus 0.05 and emacs 21.2.50.1

[John Covici <covici@ccs.covici.com>]

It fixed the lisp error, but any alias with an _ still does not
work.  Did someone change the syntax table on us or is this the
desired behavior?

Also, when I was doing this I noticed that the make install didn't
compile newer versions of the mailabbrev.el and byte-opt.el, but did
copy them into the /usr/share/emacs/21.2.50.2 directory, but left the old elc
files there.  Is this what is supposed to happen?
