Well, in the end I was too lazy to get the latest XEmacs to test this,
and to set up a working environment...  So instead we have a
erc-define-module command, that does other things beyond just defining
a minor mode...  And since we already accumulated even more
comparative emacsology cruft, we might as well keep the minor mode
compatibility hack...
