[Nick Roberts <nickrob@snap.net.nz>]

Here's an update to the list of buffer local variables.  Most are new to Emacs
22 (fill-prefix and font-lock-defaults are two exceptions.  I guess the notion
of standard is a bit arbitrary but I've roughly assumed if that if it's
mentioned in the manual then it's standard.  If some of the variables that
I've added aren't appropriate then I'll move then to the @ignore section at
the end so that, in future, everyone can see that their omission is deliberate.

To clarfiy the concept of buffer local variables for myself:

In gdb-ui.el (as in many other files, I often just copy current practice), I
have constructs like

  (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
       '(gdb-memory-font-lock-keywords))

but I could just do

  (setq font-lock-defaults '(gdb-memory-font-lock-keywords))

?
