I see I have a few more shadows than I thought.  The files in
lib/xemacs/*packages are supposed to be from the xemacs sumo package
tarballs.  The pcl-cvs shadow is because I modified pcl-cvs to work
(somewhat better) with cvs 1.12.

21.5-b25 didn't complain, and I definitely haven't changed anything
since installing 21.5-b26.  What does "play tricks" with load-paths
mean?  I haven't changed that in a long time either.

Oh, yes, I forget to mention that the first thing I tried was xemacs
-vanilla.  This, of course, produces no warnings.  If I click the menu
item to load my init files, it stops with an error that it can't load
one of my personal el files.  This, naturally, doesn't happen when I
leave off the -vanilla.  So maybe I am playing tricks with load-path.

Thank,
