Like I said: I question whether this is a good idea. Such modules
will break all the time due to internal changes, and at best will only
work with one particular version of Emacs internals. These archives
are not a good way to impose the kind of discipline it takes to keep
backward compatibility.
But I guess all this was already brought up. I just saw the slippery
slope the few modules in that branch start on and couldn't resist.
