It is much safer to wrap such functions under new names like this:
(if (not (fboundp 'whatever))
(defun jde-whatever () (code))
(defalias 'jde-whatever 'whatever))
and you avoid all upgrade problems. My packages were often being
whacked by random tools that redefine code like this, including
XEmacs' own compatibility layer that wasn't that compatible a few
years ago. I haven't had problems since I started doing the above.
