 This patch has been committed to the 21.1 branch.  Everyone who has
 been unhappy please test it before I make 21.1.1.  I'm not sure I like
 the way the patch level is put into `emacs-version' -- I want it to
 appear as X.Y.Z, but I know there hasn't yet been consensus for that
 change. 
The problem with the x.y.z. mechanism is that there is no clear
distinction between beta's and patchlevels, unless you want to go the
linux even-odd style way (and confuse the h*ll out of everybody
because we have the even and odds swapped).
