Re: Request for merging cc-guess.el

[Alan Mackenzie <acm@muc.de>]

Hi, Masatake.

Apologies for being out of touch these last two days.  The power supply
on my PC failed and it took me this time to diagnose the problem and get
a replacement.

To Emacs:  I confirm that I have indeed approved cc-guess.el as part of
CC Mode.  If anybody is about to install cc-guess.el, please let me
know.  If I do not hear from anybody, I will install it myself at
approximately 20:00 +0000.  I will also commit the amended version of
cc-mode.texi.
