Re: Constant symbol :help error when loading igrep.el into July 7 CVS sn

    I get the error:

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Constant symbol `:help' specified in 
defvar")
      (defvar :help (quote :help))

We used to defvar keyword symbols that way for compatibility with old
Emacs versions that did not have keywords as a feature.  Since
packages continue doing this, we had better turn off the error in that
case at least.

I did that.
