User-agent: SEMI/1.14.3 (Ushinoya) FLIM/1.14.2 (Yagi-Nishiguchi) APEL/10.2 Emacs/21.1.30 (sparc-sun-solaris2.6) MULE/5.0 (SAKAKI)

I finally got a permission to contribute code again for
Emacs 21!

So, I can work on the following matter by myself.  If any of
you have already started to work on it, please let me know.
