This patch just adds a bunch of common configuration files to auto-mode-alist. I wasn't sure why some of these entries were missing (e.g. .screenrc) so I thought it prudent to ask before pushing if there is any reason why we're trying to keep this alist short? OTOH, I did see that the configuration files for tux racer is in there... which is fine by me and I suppose pretty useful for those that have a need to edit that file on a regular basis. ;-) (FWIW, I imagine there's a good amount of commonly used configuration files that could usefully be added to this list. This is just (some of the) files I found in my $HOME and where having something other than fundamental-mode would be nice.) Best regards, Stefan Kangas
