bug#32714: 26.1; Proposed language input methods --- Hawaiian

[Bob Newell <bobnewell@bobnewell.net>]

This is not a bug report per se but an offering of an enhancement. It
was suggested that I submit it through this method. If this is not
correct I apologize in advance and ask guidance on the proper
procedures.

I'm appending code for Hawaiian-language pre- and postfix input methods,
which would go in /lisp/leim/quail either as a standalone file or split
between the latin pre- and latin-post files.

Some years ago I signed FSF paperwork.

;;; Implement Hawaiian pre/post-fix input method. It's a small subset
;;; of Latin-4 with the addition of an ʻokina mapping. Hopefully the
;;; ʻokina shows correctly on most displays.

;;; You should be in one of the "Latin" language environments, such as
;;; (set-language-environment "Latin-4")
