Hehe.  So you certainly won't need the gforth.elc.

Yes.  That was the reason to quickly make 0.7.2 after 0.7.1 was released.

No, then we get problems with the distributors who build with minimalist build 
environments, and then won't install the Emacs part.  This has to fail hard, 
we had enough problems with "optional parts" in Gforth which resulted in 
distribution packages that didn't build with them, and then, we had no C 
bindings...
