emacs20

[Mark Eichin <eichin@cygnus.com>]

Once I've got X 3.3-6 uploaded, I'm going to take a shot at packaging
emacs 20.1, which just came out.  Since emacs 20 is a beta (like emacs
19 was before about 19.20 or so) people will likely want them to
coexist, at least for a while.

Thus, my plan is to package up "emacs20_20.1-1" for now, and do the
update-alternatives thing as needed.  That seems clearly enough the
right thing to do.  However, I'd also like to, later on when emacs20
is stable and "replaces" emacs 19, like emacs 19 has replaced emacs 18
for a couple of years now, put out an *emacs* package that is emacs 20
(that also happens to conflict/replace the emacs20 package...)  Does
that make sense?  Will the xemacs packages do the same thing wrt
xemacs19 vs 20?  Or are they just going to diverge and keep the number
in the name?
