errors after a patch

[Tim Cross <tcross@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robert,

at a guess, I would suspect you are geting these errors because when
the file is being compiled, the w3m.el stuff has not yet been loaded.

have you got a (require 'w3m) at the top of your source file?

Note also that these are not strictly speaking errors - it would be
more correct to say they are warnings informing you that at the tim
eof compilation, emacs wa not able to verify the variable or function
had been defined.
