BTW, the major reason not to drop support for Emacs 21 is that we won't gain much because often the same code is necessary for XEmacs 21.4 (and 21.5). >> In Emacs 22 and up, declare is a Lisp macro in `subr.el', >> assoc-string is a built-in function in `src/minibuf.c'. > > *Sigh*.

It seems to me to merit a comment at least. I've added a comment in `format-seconds' and (eval-when-compile (require 'cl)) along with a comment.
