Perhaps it's time to apply the following patch?  Unfortunately, Emacs
and XEmacs both have deprecated one of "byte-code-function-p" and
"compiled-function-p", but not the same. :-/ The following code will
therefore result in a compilation-time warning on XEmacs 21.1, but on
XEmacs 21.2, "byte-code-function-p" is an FSF compatibility alias, and
there won't be any warning.
