Aha!

    GNU Emacs 22.1.1

It suffices to run emacs21.  But I wonder why those packages dropped
out.  Ah, google "emacs22 iso-acc" is helpful, and leads me to C-h n
(NEWS) in emacs, where I'm told to use a LATIN input method.  Even
better.

The news file doesn't explain rsz-mini, but changelog says its
obsolete, and the functionality seems to be available by default.

Thanks.
