Ooooh yeah. It works. Thanks a lot! :)

I think I saw it fail once, right after I recompiled the patched 
version, but after that it's been working fine, on both filesystems.

That means, better than the emacs-24 build, which started to go haywire 
again on vboxsf. I even opened the same file in both at the same time, 
and the patched trunk was the non-buggy one.

So I think it's good to install, but I can play with it for a few days 
first, if you prefer.
