gnu apl emacs - Package cl is depricated

[Hans-Peter Sorge]

    Hi,
    
    the recent update to emacs 27.1 gave me some headaches.
    
    Starting emacs FILE, the warning
    'Package cl is depricated' popped up and did not open FILE.
    
    To make it short:
    
    Emacs started with  path  /usr/share/emacs/27.1/site-lisp in mind.
    Then it did not find a proper file and continued to look at /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp
    further ignoring path /usr/share/emacs/27.1/site-lisp
    for any further file lookup.
    Moving  /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp out
    of the way did resolve some quirks.
    This note is just in case you run into this message "Package cl is
    depricated".
    
    Back to gnu apl emacs: 
    
    My .emacs includes 
    
    ;; apl mode
      (add-to-list 'load-path "/TOP_LVL_PATH/gnu-apl-mode")
      (require 'gnu-apl-mode)
      
    Which results in "Package cl is depricated" (too).
    
    Further digging led to  (include 'cl)  which has to be replaced by 
    (include 'cl-lib).
    Then subsequent errors popped up: loop, second, ... were not
    available any more.
    They need to be replaced by cl-loop, cl-second, .....
    
    The attachment has the patch file.
    I hope it helps.
    
    Best Regards,
    Hans-Peter
