Kevin Rodgers changes

[Chong Yidong]

Currently, Kevin Rodger's unassigned extant Emacs contributions
consist of 12 changes, totalling 26 lines.

In addition, he has two small manual changes that should be rewritten:

2006-12-08 files.texi (Misc File Ops): Document insert-file-literally.
2006-12-23 killing.texi (Deletion): Describe M-\ prefix argument.

Richard, can we proceed without Kevin's assignment if these manual
changes are made?


== Details: ==========================================================

Here is an updated list of Kevin Rodger's changes to Emacs (apart from
the above manual changes), divided into four categories.

  (1) Small but non-trivial changes currently in Emacs.
  (2) Changes we don't need to worry about (one-character typos etc).
  (3) Some unimportant changes that I went ahead and reverted.
  (4) Changes that were subsequently deleted or overwritten.

I have not reverted any of his changes that would lead to loss of user
functionality.  If we do that, the number of items in category (1) can
be further reduced.  But 26 lines is surely safe enough.
