bug#5136: Request to update vhdl-mode and verilog-mode

[Reto Zimmermann <reto@gnu.org>]

Chitlesh,

I added your settings for GHDL to the upcoming vhdl-mode version 3.33.28.  I'm still holding it because I first have to resolve some issues with the new compile.el in Emacs 23.

I am aware of the compilation warnings but I'm not applying the fixes to my version because they break older Emacs versions as well as XEmacs.  I'm trying to keep my vhdl-mode version compatible with recent Emacs and XEmacs versions.

You should be able to add the lines to Makefile using the hook vhdl-makefile-generation-hook.
