Maybe contrib/ucs-tables.el should throw an error if emacs-version is 21.3 or greater? The user could set gnus-load-contrib-ucs-tables if they really, really want to use contrib/ucs-tables.el. Another option is to rename it to ucs-tables-compat.el and make sure nothing in it conflicts with the new ucs-tables.el. Ted
