It appears that normal release procedures have been bypassed in
releasing 21.4.
CVS contains no tags for 21.4, but it appears to have been created
from EMACS_21_3 except for movemail.c.
This is unfortunate, as we almost released 21.4 a year ago to fix a
build problem with recent versions of GCC on Windows, and a few other
"annoying bugs" that are fixed on the EMACS_21_1_RC branch.
The discussion is here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-emacs-windows/2004-02/msg00028.html
Instead, I think I tracked down an older copy of gcc to compile the
release, and checked in the changes needed for recent versions of gcc
in case there was a future release from the branch. I upgraded gcc
again after that, and did not expect to need it again now that the bug
is fixed in all current branches of CVS. I was not expecting an Ad-Hoc
release to be made like this.
