I belatedly noticed that I should have used skip_ instead of exit 77 in my new too-old-Emacs test. Plus found a wrong occurrence of just "skip" without the _ in uninstall-fail.sh. Look ok?
(uninstall-fail has more failures in the case of a newer File::Path, due to changes in rmtree as used in deltree.pl, but that'll be another day.) --thanks, karl.
