21.2.9. (February 1999?) From the ChangeLog it is not clear who did
that change. Work with loadable modules are attributed to both Damon
Lipparelli and J. Kean Johnston in that version but it could have been
someone else who fixed the Makefiles. I believe these are the versions
of the files we have today anyway.
J. Kean Johnston has given permission for us to release his work under
a GPLv3 or later license, so let's hope it is him. :-)
If the dates are correct there that file is younger than what we
have. Maybe "ntemacs" gives some clue from where these Makefiles
originates. They contain the text "Sample makefile for a simple Emacs
module." which indicates they actually come from Emacs or!?
I believe that the modules work was originally intended to be for both
Emacs and XEmacs. However, it was only ever adopted into XEmacs.
