Is this supposed to also fix the problem for batch mode? Because I still
see this error with revno. 104589:

 --> emacs --batch foo bar baz
Unknown terminal type

Actually, this currently breaks the CEDET build, because it uses a hack
to provide arguments for functions called with the "-f" switch...
