(defcustom-mh, defface-mh, defgroup-mh, mh-face-data) (mh-strip-package-version, mh-face-data, mh-inherit-face-flag) (mh-min-colors-defined-flag): Do not unbind these macros and variables. Nice idea, but too many nasty side-effects. These macros are needed by [Cc]ustom-make-dependencies when creating the MH-E customization groups in mh-cus-load.el. These disappeared when the macros above were introduced. Besides, if a developer were to try to show the help for a macro or variable they were looking at and got [No match] when they did so, that would be bad.

# ulimit.hack: Create an intermediate program for use in
# between kernel initialization and init startup.
# This is needed on a 3b system if the standard CDLIMIT is
# so small that the dumped Emacs file cannot be written.
# This program causes everyone to get a bigger CDLIMIT value
# so that the dumped Emacs can be written out.
#
# Users of V.3.1 and later should not use this; see etc/MACHINES
# and reconfig your kernel's CDLIMIT parameter instead.
#
# Caveat: Heaven help you if you screw this up.  This puts
# a new program in as /etc/init, which then execs the real init.
