Hi,

I attached a small patch which simply adds to project.el some code I
have been using for a while for projects that I do not intend to handle with Git.

The gist of it is that adding a `.project` (empty) file to the root
directory of your project make it possible for commands such as 'C-x p f' to 
work on it.

Is this of any interest?
