21.4 not tagged in CVS

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:

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.
