(find-backup-file-name "~/News/drafts/drafts/76")
=> ("~/News/drafts/drafts/76.~2~")

So it seems to do the reverse thing -- it suggests a new backup file
name; it doesn't say what the current backup file names to a given
file are.

----------
(find-backup-file-name FN)

Documentation:
Find a file name for a backup file, and suggestions for deletions.
Value is a list whose car is the name for the backup file
 and whose cdr is a list of old versions to consider deleting now.
If the value is nil, don't make a backup.

But the "old versions" thing sounds good, but how does one control
what "old versions" are?
