Hmmmm.... I did a fresh CVS checkout.  Comparing the two packages
trees shows that I have Local.rules, macro.list, and macro.suppress in
my original tree, but not in the new tree.  That's normal.  I also
have xemacs-packages/eshell/esh-groups.el in the old tree, but not the
new tree.  Is that a generated file?  If so, "make extraclean" should
remove it.  Anyway, that's it.  There are no other differences.  I'll
try building again today and see if it was a gremlin.
