[PATCH] emacs: jump: fix compile warning on emacs 23

[Austin Clements]

LGTM.  I'm a little surprised this is necessary, but whatever.

I think the eval-and-compile has to be top-level; it's certainly not
wrong for it to be top-level.  (I like the comment in the
eval-and-compile implementation: ";; Remember, it's magic.")
