Stefan> What's wrong with `local-abbrev-table' ?

That is great.
Now the following will work exactly as requested, i.e. it will work
for any mode that triggers the c-mode-common-hook:

(define-skeleton my-skeleton-c-if
   "Insert a c if statement" nil
   "if (" > _ ")" \n
   "{" '(indent-for-tab-command) \n
   \n
   "}" '(indent-for-tab-command))

(defun my-c-mode-common-hook ()
(define-abbrev local-abbrev-table "ifx" "" 'my-skeleton-c-if))
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)

Thank you Stefan!
