It means to move the line with <X11/Xutil.h> from its original position 
before keysym.h to the new position after keysym.h, in 
emacs/src/xterm.h. Xutil.h seems to make some valuable changes and 
introduce valuable macros, but these obviously need some preparation 
from keysym.h -- or keysym.h is destroying the "values" which were 
introduced by Xutil.h ...

Here is an excerpt from emacs/src/xterm.h from CVS:

        #include <X11/Xlib.h>
        #include <X11/cursorfont.h>
        
        /* Include Xutil.h after keysym.h to work around a bug that prevents
           correct recognition of AltGr key in some X versions.  */
        
        #include <X11/keysym.h>
        #include <X11/Xutil.h>


So we should recommend to use a pretty modern GNU Emacs, one from last 
few months, GNU Emacs 21.4?  This might be correct for X11, but what 
with those unhappy few with MS what thing?
