Unless a user wants to stick with the old version of TeXmacs.  What I
normally do in this situation is:

cp foo-$OLDVER-src.tar.bz2 libfooN/libfooN-$OLDVER-src.tar.bz2
cat libfooN/setup.hint |\
	sed -e '/^external-source/d' \
	-e 's/^category:.*$/category: _obsolete/' > libfooN/setup.hint2
mv libfooN/setup.hint2 libfooN/setup.hint
rm foo-$OLDVER*bz2
