This proposal is fine by me. Short term we will just need to find a
good way to have standalone CEDET bootstrap in with either the Emacs
version, or with the one in CEDET. Eventually this will become
unnecessary.
The CEDET bootstrapping still cares about some features missing from
Emacs (according to the comments) such as:
;; Currently, Emacs proper doesn't track EIEIO methods. Until it
;; does, we have to advice `describe-variable' and `describe-function'
;; for EIEIO methods to get better help buffers.
and
;; This adds further formatting and hyperlinks.
(add-hook 'temp-buffer-show-hook 'eieio-help-mode-augmentation-maybee t)
I think we will just need to check the Emacs version, and change how we
bootstrap and compile. I'm interested in any advice on this.
Thanks
Eric
