Well, if refusing to throw away an old 486/4mb laptop and therefore
trying to use Emacs 18.59 counts as stubborness, here I am.

I say `trying' because I managed to compile it on ol' Debian slink,
but upon running the terminal gets scrambled.  If any luckier stubborn
person is reading this, I'll sing him a praise if he'll share the
magic formula.
