Okay. With the minor changes I'm making in vhdl-mode nowadays I don't
care that much about compatibility anymore either.

Alright. I will check out the code you come up with and let you know
the things I don't like. In the past there were changes done in the
Emacs version that I didn't like or didn't understand and therefore I
didn't bother to keep my copy in sync. I will try harder now!
BTW, I was a heavy user of the (now deprecated) assoc package and
didn't find a suitable replacement. So I just copied the relevant
functions into vhdl-mode. If you have a better solution, let me know.
