We first need to fix Calendar so that it doesn't use ̀date' and `entry'
as the name for dynamically variables that are passed around.

Then preparing a patch for Org would be great.

I'll ping Glenn on the emacs-devel mailing list about this.

We are close to zero.  If you have time to work on some warning,
could you have a look into the one for `buffer-substring-filters'?
Also the one for "name" should be fixed.  With these two, and when
the problems from calendar are fixed, we will be closer to zero.

Thanks!
