comint + shell still hosed

[Ilya N. Golubev]

Can not work with recent `.el': `comint.el' as of 2006-06-07,
`shell.el' as of 2006-06-01.

Can not switch to new `comint.el' without also updating `shell.el'.
New `comint.el' does not define `make-comint-1' at all.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function make-comint-1)
  make-comint-1(#<buffer "*shell*"> "/bin/bash" nil "--noediting" "-i")
  apply(make-comint-1 #<buffer "*shell*"> "/bin/bash" nil ("--noediting" "-i"))
  shell()

Can not update `shell.el' either.  In xemacs 21.4 when loading new
`shell.elc' the following error occurs.

After that `shell' does not signal errors, and works in an elementary
way, but outputs this message.

Symbol's function definition is void: shell-dirtrack-mode
