[bug#44222] emacs-lojban and emacs-lojban-mode packages

[Christopher Lemmer Webber]

Well, here are some WIP patches... two of them.  Sadly they don't work
as-is, I'm hitting an error:

But if I look at the downloaded lojban.el file, I see it there:

$ grep lojban-c-rgx 
/gnu/store/2hgmjkw6m1id4gr9zcg7qgig9wj758mv-emacs-lojban-0.23/share/emacs/site-lisp/lojban.el
 
(defconst lojban-c-rgx (concat "[" lojban-c-letter-set "]")
...

Any ideas what might be causing it?
