I can easily take these out, but 2 or thress years ago, RMS
specifically told me to put them in in prder to make the compiler shut
up about undefined variables.  Back then he said,  this was the
official way to deal with this.

So I think this is really a problem in the compiler handling of
defvar without value argument.
