I assigned my XEmacs code to the FSF around 1998. If the assignment is not on file, I have my copy around somewhere. Note that the code that this patch patches was written by Ben Wing in 2005 (Mercurial r2548). From the patch and the style I would say it was written by him from scratch. So you're welcome to any snippets of mine that work with Emacs, such as the defvars, but the patch surely won't apply to Emacs, and you'd have to rewrite the parts that *use* the variables I defined anyway, as Ben never assigned his code. He's often expressed willingness to do so under the right conditions; I don't know if this would qualify, but I suspect it would. However, I don't know where Ben is at the moment, so tracking him down might take more effort than it's worth for the two or three uses of those variables. Regards, Steve
