Office2003 and "emf'2003" are red herrings in this context.  The actual
change is in Windows (a security patch by MS dated May 2004), and it 
affects Office only by proxy.

And it's not the format that changed, but the tolerance to violations of
that format.  I.e. Windows used to accept gnuplot's previous way of
writing EMF files, but no longer accepts it now, so gnuplot had to change.

The name of the branch is 
	
	branch-4-0-stable

And yes, that's what you should get.  The EMF patch is in place.
