Done.  The 2 patches do not introduce any problems with the internal
tests.

Yes, I've confirmed with Bill Wohler that that's what we're doing.

I'm happy for either you or Glenn to push those patches, but I can do it
if you prefer (probably next week sometime).

Oh, and to close the loop with some suggestions that Glenn made back in
February (e.g., use cl-lib instead of cl)...  I do plan to look into
those suggestions, but I don't know how long it will take me.  So fixing
the immediate cl problem now seems to me like a good thing.

cheers,
