[Note: I have not yet built epoch-4.0p2 I am still looking at the
differences. These are just my first impressions.]

I suspect that the file epoch-4.0p2/src/foo should not be included in
future releases of epoch.

I concur with Gordon Joly. epoch-4.x for increasing values of x would
probably make more sense than continue with patchlevel updates. This
means that you will be able to tell from the emacs-version which
version of epoch you are really working using.

As it is now, the latest build of epoch-4.0p2 will have a 4.0.x
version number which is SMALLER than my latest build of epoch-4.0p1 !

I wish to note that the change to event.el to (require 'cl) instead of
(require 'mini-cl) is only necessary to byte-compile the file. After
you have byte-compiled the file you really do not need 'cl loaded.

The existence of the (require 'cl) is going to mean that the dumped
epoch image is going to be bigger than may be desirable and you will
probably need to increase the PURESIZE in config.h by a fairly large
amount.

A better way to work around this would be if the instructions for
byte-compiling event.el include doing a (load "cl") first. You should
then be able to avoid having a requirement of using 'cl. As an
alternative, event.el could be hacked to only use the features present
in 'mini-cl.
