this is certainly worth trying.

it brings me to a feeble question - is there a stable CVS tag for
checkout of the currently released emacs version?  i see MAIN and
EMACS_22_BASE, neither of which is very descriptive.  (MAIN is too
generic to draw any conclusions, and EMACS_22_BASE sounds like
something that is built upon, not a destination in itself.)  have i
missed one?

(i know this is a digression, but i feel lost in a twisty maze of
passages, trying to find an authoritative listing of the most
significant emacs CVS repository tags.  i couldn't find anything in
the emacs project site on savannah or in the emacs wiki.  seems like
it would be useful to have such a listing associated with the
project!)
