OK.  I'm warming to the new functionality, now that I've been using it
for a few days :-)

I also notice that emcas 22's HTML-mode (the one provided by
sgml-mode) is treating /* and */ as comment-delimiters - at least as
far as font-lock-mode is concerned - possibly in support of comments
in embedded CSS style sheets, but maybe a bug in some mode-related
code borrowing off C by mistake.  Very tiresome in documents that talk
about files, e.g. "see source/*.mk for details."

And, on a wildly separate topic, I owe you some updates to the GNU
make manual: see
  http://www.chaos.org.uk/~eddy/craft/make.html
for a talk in which I tried out my changes on the Bergen LUG, to see
if (a) anyone could spot any mistakes I was making and (b) whether it
was intelligible.  Even documentation deserves testing ...
Main obstacle to supplying a patch (aside from the usual scarcity of
time) is that I'm not info-literate, although I can probably remember
enough TeX to work it out,

	Eddy.
