Re: *Buffer List* column resizing for emacs >= 24.2.50.1

[Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>]

Thanks to Drew Adams' assistance, and after updating to emacs-24.3.50.1,
I now have the ability to resize column=Buffer in the *Buffer List* from
Buffer Menu Plus. The fix was:

1. Download an emacs-23 buff-menu.el to a directory on one's load-path.
   I did

URI='http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.4.tar.bz2'
DIR="/tmp/emacs-23.4"
FN="$(basename ${URI%%\?*})"
mkdir -p ${DIR}
FP="${DIR}/${FN}"
curl -C - -o "${FP}" "${URI}"
pushd ${DIR}/
tar xf emacs-23.4.tar.bz2 
popd
pushd ${DIR}/emacs-23.4/
find -type f -name 'buff-menu*'
> ./lisp/buff-menu.elc
> ./lisp/buff-menu.el
mv ./lisp/buff-menu.el ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/

2. Download the latest buff-menu+.el to a directory on one's load-path.
   I did

URI='http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/download/buff-menu%2b.el'
DIR="${HOME}/.emacs.d/site-lisp"
FN="$(basename ${URI%%\?*})"
FP="${DIR}/${FN}"
curl -C - -o "${FP}" "${URI}"

3. Start emacs, and do

M-x load-file ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/buff-menu.el
M-x load-file ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/buff-menu+.el
C-x C-b

4. If that gets Buffer Menu Plus, you can resize column=Buffer with
   the '+' and '-' keys.

5. If that works, add the load lines to your init.el (directly or
   indirectly), and restart emacs to retest.
