Does this DTRT?
(defmacro define-obsolete-variable-alias (symbol aliased
&optional docstring when)
"Make SYMBOL a variable alias for symbol ALIASED and warn that
SYMBOL is obsolete. If provided, WHEN should be a string
indicating when the variable was first made obsolete, for example
a date or a release number. Fourth arg docstring, if non-nil, is
documentation for symbol."
(list 'progn
`(defvaralias ,symbol ,aliased ,docstring)
`(make-obsolete-variable ,symbol ,aliased ,when)))
The version in XEmacs may be better but I've not looked at at it deliberately,
as I wasn't sure of the implications of copying it.
