I'd guess that emacs-devel people (those responsiable for the changes
in Emacs-CVS) can help you do that.  Can you send us a "diff3 -A" merged
version of the file, so we can help you resolve the conflicts?

Of course, a better approach would be to keep the official release
directly in the Emacs-CVS, so merge problems have to be handled earlier,
when they're easier to address.
