Since there seems to be little activity on emacsen-common, I have been
reviewing and closing some of the no longer relevant bugs. For the same
reason I may consider uploading my package after lenny if activity stays low.
There is one thing about which I would like to get feedback, old flavors. I
have added basic support for excluding specific flavors, although only put
'emacs' there. However current code will not work for emacs19 and emacs20. I
can make it work with them (in short, is just adding a dolist fallback
definition and making sure add-to-list is defined and accepting the append
option, both properly renamed to avoid name clashes). I tested these changes
in a slink qemu box, and seem to work, but did not yet add them to the
master branch. Changes are not a nightmare, but do you think this backwards
portability worths?

Updated with the new changes.
As previously written, Rob, feel free to borrow what you find convenient from
it.
Feel everybody free to play with it. Comments are welcome.
