Uh, I don't see why having CC mode in Emacs would make this easier: the whole point of the uninstalled fixes is that they are fixes to a comparatively _stable_ version fit for release with Emacs 22. The HEAD of CC mode is _much_ less suited to be released with Emacs 22 if I have understood things correctly. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
