http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/DynamicallyExtendingEmacs says
that Steve Kemp was the author of one of these patches; I think his
patch for Emacs 20 was the first one.  I would like to see Dave's
patch in Emacs.  Perhaps the simple requirement of having an
Emacs-specific "initizalization" function available would be enough to
deter would-be license-breakers?
