Seems to me that we shouldn't depend on any specific version, as long as
emacs21 exists in stable, since a lot of people using stable will use
unstable emacs-goodies-el.  But removing specific references to emacs21
is good!

As for emacs-snapshot, let's not be too hasty in removing it!  I'm sure
it will be back as soon as emacs22 gets old!
