 The offending logic is still there (AFAICT)... however, it seems to me
 that this should be sorted out as part of a general rehab of emacs
 modules to support proper multiversion builds. Then one would be able
 to install the various versions reliably without making a mess.
 
 Does that seem reasonable?
