So, here's the problem.

On load, appt.el calls (appt-activate 1).  That activates the
appointment stuff, which loads the diary file.  If the user has a
diary file with diary-sunrise-sunset in it, diary-sunrise-sunset is
called, which tries to use the latitude and longitude.

icalendar.el has (require 'appt).  So, when icalendar.el is compiled,
appt is loaded and activated.  Enter the problem.

Here's what I have as a possible fix.  It will fix bootstrap, but it
won't fix the case if someone is interactively compiling a file which
requires appt, and doesn't have lat & long set.

        * calendar/appt.el: Only activate appt if in an interactive
        session.  This stops appt from prompting during Emacs bootstrap.
