To answer the implied question, "how do we catch version compatibility and other commit errors," I think the right way is with automatic builds against various Emacs and XEmacs versions. David Engster was planning to set something up and he was talking to Lars last I heard. David, if you need anything from me, please let me know. I'm eager to get automatic builds working for the benefit of Gnus and Emacs as a whole. Ted
