I've compiled the new version and have uploaded it to the same URL.   
However, font preferences still do not seem to work via Preferences  
or the Options menu.  Preferences...Default Font brings up a font  
dialog, but choosing a different font has no discernible effect even  
after hitting "OK".  Using Options...Set Font/Fontset... brings up a  
font dialog, and choosing a different font has an immediate effect in  
the Emacs window, but if you then select Options...Save Options, you  
get the error "Wrong type argument: commandp, menu-bar-options- 
save".  Note that, as you'd expect, I *was* able to set the font the  
old-fashioned way by selecting Options...Customize Emacs...Specific  
Face, hitting return and then modifying the desired font (notably,  
Default) manually inside the Emacs customization window and selecting  
"Save for Future Sessions".
