are fine.

http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commitdiff;h=b46fa17a97ee050b5aeccffaa7323201fe491371

was problematic, as reported by Bernt, and I think I fixed it.

It leaves us with 

http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commitdiff;h=6cbf1f417222321a47848a7368427ba8a22fe3a5

which should be carefully reviewed/tested/amended.

The `state' dynamically scoped in these files is not necessarily the
same `state' that is dynamically scoped in `org-todo'.  

For example in org-agenda.el there is `state' in `org-agenda-log-mode',
but this is dynamically scoped in another function org-agenda.el that
does not depend on org.el's definition for `state'...

Yep -- I guess we're good for a fun ride.

Please do!

Let's do some heavy testing against current HEAD and let's carefully 
review code.  But let's not panic -- Emacs is still in pretest, that's
the whole purpose of a pretest.  

Thanks all for your help,
