Re: Change in bytecomp.el breaks Gnus

[Richard Stallman]

    Most warnings are of the "function may not be defined at runtime" or
    "assignment to free variable" type.  There are such an enormous amount
    of them that we have, practically speaking, no choice but to assume
    that they are bogus until proven non-bogus.

I have been eliminating the "free variable" warnings from many files
over the past couple of years.  I have not tried to to so in calc
or rmail, because calc is big and I don't know it, and rmail is being
to a large extent rewritten.

Would others like to carry on with this work?
