Add two items with solutions for Calc problems.

-    (setq after-change-function 'sgml-set-face-after-change)

* On systems with shared libraries you might encounter run-time errors
from the dynamic linker telling you that it is unable to find some
shared libraries, for instance those for Xaw3d or image support.
These errors mean Emacs has been linked with a library whose shared
library is not in the default search path of the dynamic linker.

+    (setq after-change-functions '(sgml-set-face-after-change))
     )

* The Calc package fails to build and signals errors with Emacs 21.

Apply the following patches which reportedly fix several problems:
