Not being able to decode is understandable, because it wasn't very
clear.

Yesterday my org installation from git did not work, but today, when I
took a fresh look at the situation, I was able to notice a path problem
which I solved. I now tested the committed version with my changes, and
it works.

A couple of points about the process:

1. Already yesterday I ran make to make sure that org still compiles
   ok. It did, although the used cl function 'position' does give two
   warnings.

2. When I tried to run "make test", it failed because I don't have ERT
   installed. I am running Emacs 23.3.1, which does not include ERT, and
   I could not find a package providing ert.el in the repositories of
   Fedora 16. Because I was running out of time, I decided not to start
   installing ERT manually.

   Today I installed ERT by hand, but "make test" still does not work,
   because the test script runs "emacs -Q" and thus does not load my
   init file (where the directory of ERT is added to path). I don't want
   to make a manually installed ERT system-wide, so I had to skip the
   tests.
