All the changes are located in lib-src/etags.c (plus two > lines in lisp/speedbar.el). Yes, I think support for additional languages in etags is always welcome. But please also be sure to update the etags.1 man page with the relevant information, and announce the addition in NEWS. If the changes are substantial, we will need you to assign the copyright for these changes to the FSF. Would you like to start the legal paperwork rolling now? If so, I will send you the form to fill. Thanks.
