Just opening a latex file did not raise warnings, so I thought emacs
21.4 was OK.  However, that turned out to be false.  After opening the
circ.tex in preview-latex, C-x 5 2 signals an error "Unknown req
`min-colors' with options `(16)'".  So it's pretty sure that emacs 21.4
does not accept min-colors in defface, too.

And, bad news again.

As the subject of this mail tells, emacs 21.4 and xemacs can not run
LaTeX with C-c C-c.  Opening the circ.tex and typing C-c C-c RET leads
to an error "Symbol's value as variable is void:
TeX-error-overview-frame".

Anyway, at last I become able to check whether my enhancements to
array-like environments work with emacs 21.4 and xemacs, and they seem
to work flawlessly.  So I'll work on the issues you suggested in another
mail.  Could you explain what you mean by "a test suite for this feature"
more precisely?
