Oh sorry, I guess I forgot to deactivate wordwrap in KMail. I attached both 
patches to this email.

I'm simply helping to sync the two versions. The vhdl-mode maintainer is Reto 
Zimmermann.

We could change that downstream. The C-c C-c part is from the current vhdl-
mode release.

I tried to send the patch to the vhdl-mode maintainer but he wants to stay 
compatible to all kind of old and forked emacs and that's why the patch is 
probably not acceptable for him.

Maybe we could send at least the documentation fixes upstream. Reducing the 
differences would be useful. It took a lot of time with diff-mode and git-blame 
to figure out what was changed in emacs and what is new in the vhdl-mode 
release.
