Good, thank you.

Sure. I tend to forget about CVS's idea that one of the branches is
deemed special. So yes, "open a new branch for emacw-24" here would
mean "create a new CVS branch for Emacs-23.2 and use the trunk for
Emacs-24".

Actually we did for emacs-unicode ;-)
Not that it matters, tho.

I know, but somehow having such experimental code there makes me uneasy.
