The relative block in the \eTeX 2.2 source seem to suggest that
the changes were done because \TeXXeT (as implemented in e-TeX)
should be compatible with \TeXeT. Apart from possible bugs (I'm
not in the vein to debug \eTeX at this time of night :)), does
anybody have an actually runnable \TeXeT around to see how it
behaved?
Otherwise, we might just revert that part to the old do_glue()
routine, which seemed to work right and shouldn't influence the
other changes in 2.2 ...
