Should EDE use project.el

[Ergus <spacibba@aol.com>]

Hi:

Recently working in the gtags-mode package I thought to add a backend
for ede/cedet... but I have found that most of the ede features overlap
or coincide with ones in project.el.

So my question is: Isn't it easier to add a backend in locate.el to make
ede use project as one ede-locate-setup-options?

I am not sure about how useful is ede or cedet these days as they seem
to be a bit unmaintained, but IMHO, if we don't want to remove them (for
some reason) but still keep project.el as the preferred way to go, then
maybe cedet should use the project.el functions by default.

The basic implementation seems to need only:

initialize-instance
ede-locate-ok-in-project
ede-locate-file-in-project-impl
ede-locate-create/update-root-database

Implementing all these may be extremely simple but not sure if it worth
the effort.

What do you suggest?

Best,
Ergus
