bug#1958: 23.0.60; org-mode does not honour shift-select-mode

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi,

I do now have an implementation that does just what Andreas proposes:
It will allow shift selection to proceed outside special contexts.
Furthermore, if the region is already started, it will extend regions
even across special contexts.

The question is:  Should this still go into Emacs 23.1?  If yes,
I can install it later today.
        
Thanks.

- Carsten
