proposal for GNU emacs 21.2 package

[Joshua Daniel Franklin]

What kind of size are we talking about here with all the dlls? 
I believe this was an issue with the ksh-ast package...

Also, would it make sense to split the non-X and X11 into separate
packages?

I also might recomment making your ldesc the sdesc and grabbing a 
good ldesc from somewhere else.
