Thanks, Javier and Joris for promptly pointing me to this.  It is 
exactly what I hoped for!

I seem to have found the problem: the plugin I am working on uses 
`path-assign', which was deprecated and removed at revision 1.18, 
between versions 1.0.6.10 and 1.0.6.12.  What exactly did path-assign 
do?  What sort of construct might replace it?

In general, I agree that this is a good plan.  But in our case we are 
implementing an active research project, and do not feel ready to make 
it generally accessible.

Thanks for your help,
Robert
