I'm using CVS emacs-w3m, the Changelog has this:

2007-03-23  Katsumi Yamaoka  <yamaoka@jpl.org>

	* w3m-ems.el: New file merging w3m-e21.el, w3m-e23.el and w3m-fsf.el.

I just looked at the source, and it has this:

;; We can use w3m-static- switches to make the byte code differ between
;; Emacs 2[12] and 23, if anything, it is impossible to share the byte
;; code with those versions of Emacsen.
