CVS bootstrap: Cannot open mh-e

[Robert J. Chassell]

The current CVS snapshot is missing the mh-*.el files, which 
Gnus requires.

Today's CVS snapshot, Tue, 2003 Jan 28  13:43 UTC
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.104 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
fails to bootstrap:

    gcc=gcc-3.2 ./configure --with-type1 --prefix=/usr/local \
    --with-sound=yes && gcc=gcc-3.2 time make bootstrap

and reports this error:

    Compiling /usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/gnus/gnus-mh.el

    In toplevel form:
    gnus/gnus-mh.el:37:1:Error: Cannot open load file: mh-e
    make[1]: *** [compile] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs/lisp'

Indeed, mh-e.el is missing from the

    emacs/lisp/mail/

directory, as are the other mh-*.el files.

I copied the old files from emacs/21.2.50/lisp/mail/mh-*.el to my CVS
directory and was able to build and install Emacs without reported
error.
