* Emacs 20/21 .elc files are currently not loadable. It may or may
not be possible to do this properly.
With the change on 2002-07-24, elc files generated by Emacs

released.
* Gnus still needs some attention, and we need to get changes
accepted by Gnus maintainers...
* There are type errors lurking, e.g. in
Fcheck_coding_systems_region. Define ENABLE_CHECKING to find them.
* You can grep the code for lots of fixmes.
* Old auto-save files, and similar files, such as Gnus drafts,
containing non-ASCII characters probably won't be re-read correctly.
