I know things take a long time out here, but here's finally a fix for
this.  Migration will now create a backup file of your .emacs if
possible.  (Leaving the old .emacs in place doesn't really
work---migration either wants to replace it or know that it's been
moved.)  Will apply Saturday if nobody objects.

	* startup.el (migrate-user-init-file): Create backup of
	`user-init-file' before migrating.
	* startup.el (maybe-migrate-user-init-file): Print
	information about backup file.
	(maybe-create-compatibility-dot-emacs): Follow above change.
