 I had to downgrade the mule-base package from 1.28 to 1.27, because
 otherwise I'd get lots of error messages about missing libraries. Apparently 
 these files where moved to the xemacs core, but if I check out 21.2.12 with
 cvs I don't get these files... 
You need to use `cvs update -d' to get new directories, in this case,
lisp/mule.  The announcement probably should have noted this.  Sorry.
 I also had to fix lisp/dumped-lisp.el: 
You completely backed out the file move changes.  Things will work much
better when you get a populated lisp/mule directory.
