In `gnus-select-frame-set-input-focus': It is only used in Emacs 21.

Shouldn't this warning be suppressed by `declare-function' in Emacs 23?

Emacs on Windows doesn't seem to define `make-symbolic-link'.  Would
it make sense to signal an error like this...

(unless (fboundp 'make-symbolic-link)
  (defun make-symbolic-link (filename linkname &optional ok-if-already-exists)
    (error "`make-symbolic-link' not supported on this platform.")))

... instead of just `void-function ...'?  Maybe not worth the effort.

nnmaildir.el also uses `make-symbolic-link'.  What other functions
aren't defined?

Bye, Reiner.
