New GNU emacs package files are available at:

Changes:
- recompile against latest XFree86 (the major reason for this release)
- setup.hint changes due to rearrangements of various required runtime libraries
- moved documentation from /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc
Note that I'm not an emacs user so I can't tell if the binary works or not. These are just packaging observations:
- The info pages are still in /usr/info, they should be in /usr/share/info.
- Ditto for /usr/man vs. /usr/share/man.
- Don't supply emacs-ctags. It conflicts with the ctags package which provides an emacs independent ctags (and etags).
- The emacs-21.2-13.tar.bz2 as well as the emacs-X11/emacs-X11-21.2-13.tar.bz2 provide a /usr/bin/emacs.exe binary. So the emacs packages conflict with each other.
I'd like to maintain the status quo for all of these to get this new version released as soon as possible. A -14 release can contain all of these fixes, and I agree that it should follow quickly.
