Hmm.  Maybe a line ending problem?  /bin/sh^M is not good for most
Unix interpreters.

Please keep bug-auctex copied: I am not the only XEmacs developer (in
fact, I am not actually doing much for XEmacs except breaking things).

        Major update.  Sync with FSF 21.2.
        Create the ability to make custom-defines files.

If anybody has a clue what we should use for replacing this, or wants
to investigate, this would be appreciated.

XEmacs 21.5 is a mostly broken moving target, anyway (in particular in
the MULE area), but it would appear that since this change results
from a synch with Emacs (where we don't need the package install
procedure), we would need to get this changed in the long run, anyhow.
