I just started running the new emacs 21.2 from pkgsrc.  It seems to
work ok, although I do spend some time figuring out how to turn off
some of the undesired "upgrades".

(if (>= emacs-major-version 21)
    (progn
;; can't decide if I like wasting one line for this or not... -wsr
;;      (menu-bar-mode nil)
      (tool-bar-mode nil)
      (blink-cursor-mode -1)
      (setq next-line-add-newlines 't)
      (setq default-truncate-lines nil)
      (add-hook 'comint-mode-hook
		(lambda ()
		  ;; it is already buffer-local !
		  (setq next-line-add-newlines 't)
		  ))
      (setq vm-toolbar-pixmap-directory
	    "/usr/pkg/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm/pixmaps")
      (setq vm-image-directory "/usr/pkg/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm/pixmaps")
      ))

Now to figure our why the fonts sizing is screwy.  Both my emacs and
xterm (xfree86 4.2.0) have the same font selected, yet emacs appears
to be a point or two smaller.  Emacs also has very little interline
spacing which adds to the illusion even more.

Emacs*font:	-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
XTerm*font:	-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

I wonder which program is messing up?
