Re: Saving minibuffer history

[Hrvoje Niksic]

I've now applied your changes to my version.

    http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~hniksic/emacs/savehist.el

To summarize:

* Minibuffer histories are now picked up the way you suggested.  That
  way we no longer need the minibuffer history taxonomy -- individual
  histories get picked up automatically as they are used.  Thanks!

* The user can now separately choose whether to save minibuffer
  histories and/or specify additional variables he wants to save.

* Runtime dependency on CL is removed -- at the unfortunate cost of
  clarity.  Please reconsider allowing the use of CL extensions in
  Emacs.

* The copyright information is now as in your version.

These changes should make it possible for you to simply use my version
unchanged.

I also recommend that you mention in the NEWS file how the feature is
supposed to be used.  It can be as simple as:

    To use this feature, put (savehist-load) in your `.emacs' file.
