Don't test emacs-minor-version. Do a lexicographic test on
emacs-version, comparing against 21.3.90. That'll ensure you've got
any non-CVS release containing the features of 21.4.

That'll make the lexicographic test fail (in general). I, personally,
would be *much* more surprised by a system where version numbers
didn't sort lexicographically than by one in which a particular
component was `wrong'. Not sure if this made any sense, but I hope
some of it did.
