[emms-help] Fwd: please remove bundled tq.el

[Yoni Rabkin]

Actually "available separately" was wrong - is part of GNU Emacs.
If think it is not part of XEmacs though.
You should probably move this file to a separate directory, add file
.nosearch (to it to prevent the directory from being added to the
,----
| (or (require tq nil t)
| (let ((load-path
| (cons (expand-file-name "fallback-libs"
| (or load-file-name buffer-file-name)
| load-path))))
| (require 'tq)))
`----
Gnus does it similar to this.

Back in the day mwolson modified tq and therefore added their own
version:

I think we should remove tq from Emms completely if nobody complains,
and then deal with any breakage as complaints come in (and if no
complaints come in...)

That would break emms-mpd for XEmacs users, but with some explaining and
a workaround (step 1 - download tq.el, step 2 - you're done) that could
work, so I'm ok with the removal.
