Done.  (I tagged locally but forgot to push the tag.)

Yes.

The problem with the `name' global variable is not in maint, I will 
have a look in master.

Yes, I know.  

This is not easy to fix, because the ̀date' global variable is set from
calendar.  Same for annotation and initial, which are set from
remember.el.  If you see a place where the fix is trivial (i.e. where my
assumption is false), please submit it.

Well, this is the culprit compatibility defun:

(defun org-find-library-name (library)
  (if (fboundp 'find-library-name)
      (file-name-directory (find-library-name library))
    ; XEmacs does not have `find-library-name'
    (flet ((find-library-name-helper (filename ignored-codesys)
				     filename)
	   (find-library-name (library)
	    (find-library library nil 'find-library-name-helper)))  <<<<<
      (file-name-directory (find-library-name library)))))

I don't know how to circumvent this warning and btw I don't have this
warning in Emacs 24.0.94.1.

Yes.  The fix is not trivial.  Patch welcome!
