eshell-defgroup. Do we really need this?

[Alan Mackenzie]

Hi, emacs,

I've just done a cvs update in CVS head.  I really wish I hadn't.

I tried unadorned 'make'.  This told me "can't find cl-compile-time-init" on an
(include cl).  What????

So back to 'make bootstrap'.  It says "can't find eshell-defgroup".

Hey, guys, 'make bootstrap' should work.

   MAKE BOOTSTRAP SHOULD WORK.

   MAKE BOOTSTRAP SHOULD WORK.

Or, SOMETHING should - the last fallback before shouting naughty words
at high volume.  make bootstrap _is_ that last, guaranteed to work
fallback, isn't it?  Isn't it?  Hey, I'm tired and fed up, and really
ought to be in bed.  I'm hacking off you, the reader.  I can't even
think straight, I feel like I'm drunk, but I've not touched any alcohol
for days.  I'm not even sleep deprived.

Hey, make bootstrap should ALWAYS work, shouldn't it?

A quick 

So, here's another hour lost to bootstrap hell.  This just isn't fun.

A quick find . -name '*.el' | xargs grep eshell-defgroup gives me 
(defalias 'eshell-defgroup 'defgroup) somewhere.  Hey, is this what's
breaking make bootstrap????

WHAT'S WRONG WITH DEFGROUP, that you need to call it eshell-defgroup??


Hey, guys, THIS ISN'T FUN!!!!  I want to hack Emacs.

I know, I've caused this myself before too, so I'm not claiming I'm
better than anybody else.  But I thought we'd got this fixed a few weeks
back.

Why won't our CVS head build NEARLY ALL THE TIME!!!

I wish I hadn't.  It's update hell again, in eshell hell.
Back to update hell, in eshell.

update autogen-clean, as recommended by 

Heck, I'm going to bed.

WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS, SURELY?????
