Re: new style Emacs compile v0.18

[Daniel Pfeiffer]

Hi Richard,

Do you like the example file http://dapfy.bei.t-online.de/compilation.txt I'd 
included?  In a way this is the non-technical documentation which illustrates 
compilation-error-regexp-alist.  I would like this to reside under etc/.  Is 
there a way it could be hyperlinked from the Help buffer or automatically 
displayed with the Customization buffer?  Or should I write a command to visit 
it and refer to that?

I had done that with version 0.14.  Only, additionally the first page contains 
my coments and the last two pages contain the fixes to grep and diff-mode.  The 
rest in between is what the finished compile.el will look like.

As this is about complete now (http://dapfy.bei.t-online.de/compile.el v0.20), 
I'm starting to wonder how to submit this.  A diff of compile.el would be much 
bigger than just the file itself.  For grep and diff-mode the diffs would be 
fairly small.

I think it would be better to get the finished things integrated asap, and fix 
the other affected libraries afterwards.  That way there'd be a sound basis 
which I could submit this week.  Else it'll be second january week...

merry christmas
