Progress report.

I forgot to say that I do have "(require 'imenu)" in the code
such that the macro should be defined during byte-compilation.

Also, emacs-21.0.102 fails with the file byte-compiled by
emacs20, but _works_ with a byte-compiled file created by
itself.  I guess this problem was somehow fixed, but if there's a
workaround I'd like to know beacuse this gets byte-compiled for
emacs20 in the gri Debian package.

Thanks,
