problems with Emacs 28

[Emanuel Berg]

I rebuilt a new Emacs, namely

   GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
   3.24.5, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2020-10-23

because I wanted an Emacs with support for modules (in particular,
vterm), which isn't possible to get from the Debian repos, IIUC.

Two issues:

1) suddenly no `markdown-mode'? but there is a markdown-mode pack in
   MELPA, which seems to work OOTB. but as a side not, to move major
   modes out of core Emacs seems like a bad idea, since they are
   Emacs' back bone, and besides cannot amount to many bytes, as they
   are just text. I take it spcific reasons made you do it?

2) a lot of errors like this:

     global-keys.el: 
     In toplevel form:
     global-keys.el:8:1: Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or 
directory, w3m-bookmark

     files-my.el: 
     In toplevel form:
     global-keys.el:8:1: Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or 
directory, w3m-bookmark

     kill-path.el: 
     In toplevel form:
     kill-path.el:8:1: Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, 
w3m

     gnus/group.el: 
     In toplevel form:
     kill-path.el:8:1: Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, 
w3m

   ... and so on, all relating to ny extensions of Emacs-w3m.
   But there *is* such a directory, with files, this is evident no the
   least when I use Emacs-28 _without_ byte compiling my stuff,
   because then Emacs-w3m works great with my add-ons in effect.
   
   And, I set the `load-path' in the Makefile [1]. This has always
   works, and does so even now for everyone (e.g., gnus) even in the
   same string as the w3m reference! So what's going on?
