Good evening, Alan!

I'm afraid the patch doesn't change a thing in the behavior of my Emacs.
Would I have to do anything else but patch&recompile these two files?

Anyway, if I look at `load-history', the definitions from cc-engine.elc
still precede textually those from newcomment.elc, doesn't that come from
(c-lang-defconst comment-start ... ?
